In this modern-day retelling of an ancient Egyptian myth, Iris Cairo has it all: a loving husband, a successful business, a supportive family. Unfortunately, she also has a not-so-secret admirer, her brother-in-law, Seth, who is willing to do anything-even murder his own brother-to try to win her love. When her husband goes missing, Iris knows Seth is to blame and begins a decades-long quest to bring him to justice. Meanwhile, she also faces the task of raising her son, Horace, who will grow up never knowing his father, but always nursing a desire for revenge against his uncle Seth.
