Her best and worst moments of life had their beginnings in death-shrouded places.

Socially awkward Daphne feels liberated when her hateful great Nana dies. Shockingly, she learns that the wicked witch, who was not Polish as originally believed, had been living incognito in Australia since 1948 and had travelled from India... with another woman's baby.

Daphne must now unfurl her maternal family's tricky past with help from the attractive half-Portuguese lawyer Benny, who has a turbulent past himself. They cross oceans for answers but find deceit. Historic obsessions, betrayals, and curses unfold, which lead to a present-day revenge killing and suicide pacts lined with more lies and half-truths.

Can Daphne trust him? Will parallel events seen between two branches of her family drive them apart or will they defy the stars? Daphne knows it's decision time. She is fighting for her own heart.
