Soon Molly’s world is overturned by the arrival of an unwanted stepmother and a bewitching and beautiful stepsister, Cynthia.

But the strength of their friendship is soon tested when the girls become rivals in love and matters are further complicated when a dangerous secret emerges from Cynthia’s past with serious consequences for them both.
