When she receives a letter announcing that she inherited a large sum from her grandmother, she feels as if her prayers have been answered. There is only one problem: her grandmother has been dead for twenty years. The letter was obviously sent to the wrong person… She thinks she can cheat on other relatives to get the money, and makes a life-changing choice. But along the way she discovers that there is no going back and is in danger of losing everything, even her own life.
