When down-her-luck New York City writer, Lori Abruzzi has a chance encounter with Atlanta billionaire, Christian Porter, cultural sparks do fly. When Christian rescues Lori from her abusive boyfriend, who is a member of Russian gang in NYC, Lori reluctantly moves into Christian's mansion in an upscale neighborhood in Atlanta. Among the cast of characters living in the huge mansion, called Battle House, is Ethan Marchand, who is Christian Porter's former brother-in-law. Ethan is a brilliant dwarf, who is double-cursed by a genetic disease that kills Marchands in their early 30s and by anti-social behavior related to dwarfism. Only after Ethan dies, do Lori and Christian find the truth about Ethan's Way, which changes and shapes their lives forever.
