An epic tale of three families spanning four generations Justine, a young black-haired pretty, after a summer of passion with a battle scarred soldier, is imprisoned by her love for the rest of her days. Laura, a beautiful fair complexioned woman, lies exposed to the blazing sun on the white sands of Miami Beach when a handsome playboy walks out of the sea to rescue her and thence to love her all his life. Scott, unable to free himself from his wicked past, falls prey to a pair of cunning assassins. Spellbound and under their power, his moral compass and conscience not functioning properly, he is helpless and submits to their evil bidding. Alan, encumbered by a criminal past, rises above it and, risking all, audaciously braves the political goldfish bowl. Charles, haunted by ancestral evil, tries desperately to wipe the slate clean, but instead, by a cruel twist of fate, steps into the shoes of a killer.
