Few have ever seen the Bettancourt twins, they have been brought up by their aunt in strict seclusion on their family's lavish estate in Somerset, their past shrouded in secrecy. But the night before their 21st birthday in June 2006, at a lavish party held in the gardens of their home, the world is finally introduced to Flora and Octavia.
On this momentous day the twins are finally free of their aunt's care. And come into possession of a huge fortune. For Octavia, it's the day she's been waiting for. Restless and courageous, she can't wait to leave the smothering confines of the estate. For Flora, it is a time of uncertainty and fear as she faces life with nothing but her money to protect her.
Two years later and Octavia is in the throes of a wild spending spree. She has a glamorous new circle of friends, each as hard as they are sophisticated, and they keep her at the forefront of everything that's happening, initiating her into all sorts of pleasures...
Flora by contrast is lonely. She cannot adapt to this new and glittering world, and she falls headlong into a marriage that brings her nothing but heartache. Without realising it the sisters have lost sight of each other and life suddenly becomes a terrifying struggle against people and forces they are ill-equipped to deal with. Before they can truly earn the freedom they crave, they need to recapture the closeness of their childhood and learn to fight together.
