Anna's life is perfect. She lives in the good side of Birmingham, her new job pays her well, and her daughter, Isabel, is as perfect as a child could be.

Bino's life is far from perfect. He works for the Hamiltons, a notorious crime family that runs Birmingham, and one of the girls Bino is responsible for has just gone missing.

Carmen tries to live her life quietly. The murder of her son, over a decade ago, has left her a shell, and her grandson gives her no space for peace.

When Isabel is diagnosed with cancer, Anna's life comes to a screeching halt. Not just because of the disease that is destroying her perfect daughter from the inside, but because she has been told a lie. Isabel is not, as Anna thought when she adopted her, white but black, and the best route to saving her is a marrow donor from a blood relative.

As Anna sets off to find answers to questions she never thought she had to ask, all four of these lives collide into one another. And maybe Anna isn't the only one with everything to lose.
