Synopsis

After receiving a crumbling Mediterranean mansion, Liz Galin uncovers clues that will solve a century-old murder … and reveal a forbidden love story that mirrors a modern one.

Everyone fantasizes about receiving a gift from a stranger.

Liz Galin, an out-of-work fashion stylist, lives in a walk up studio apartment in Alphabet City in Manhattan. She has put her life on hold during COVID-19 to care for her mother going through chemo, and cannot see her boyfriend Cary as he is an emergency room
doctor during the height of the pandemic. One Monday morning, she receives a cryptic letter from a Miami lawyer indicating that she should call his office. When she does, she and her mother Linda find out she has been bequeathed an asset in a will. She is shocked
to find she’s been left a storied, crumbling Mediterranean mansion on Miami’s famed North Bay Road by a reclusive socialite who has recently passed. She has no idea who Elsa SloanBarrett was or why she left her multimillion-dollar home to her.

Liz’s journey uncovers clues that will solve a century-old murder mystery and a forbidden love story that will ultimately change her life. It will also uncover a new love triangle with a famous, reclusive celebrity neighbor that will test her own relationship and values
and in many ways, mirroring the love story she uncovers.

In the end, the mansion won’t be the only gift she receives. …
