Bridging the past with the present, this saga shifts from the early 1900s to present day in locations all over the world. An unlikely pairing of a young farm girl from Ireland and a young boy from a wealthy English family suffers the ramifications of their love as their parents' disapproval wreaks havoc on their relationship.

Currently, three beautiful cousins, 19 year old Jessica, 18 year old Rhiannon, and 17 year old Madeline are united in the care of their grandparents' estate. A sinister plot emerges when they learn that a plane was shot down and their grandparents are lost in the Amazon jungle with a drug cartel pursuing them. After a revealing encounter Rhiannon has with a preacher, she may have obtained information that could help save them.

Will the girls' rescue mission be successful? Or will they end up in as much danger as the grandparents they are trying to save?
