Elyse Gibbons is raised by a single mother and language
professor in Pennsylvania who instills in her great values. As an undergrad at
Columbia University, she makes friends with the two most popular students on
Campus — Aubrey Adam-Drake born into a powerful political family with a
grandfather who was the former president, and Marina Hunt, the daughter of a
famous mob lawyer. Finneas Beck is another handsome yet enigmatic character
from a rich family that catches Elyse’s heart. While Elyse is drawn into the
glamorous world of these characters, she maintains the values of humanity she
has learned growing up from her mother, nurturing her steadfast desire to make
a difference in the lives of others. Follow her as she gets closer to the Drake
family, gains insights into the complex political realities, and learns to make
difficult choices. When the moment comes to make the most decisive choice in her
life, will she act according to her loyalty to her friends or will she decide
according to her strongly held beliefs?
