Angie Nuland had worked a nine-month internship at the British Museum after she graduated from UCLA. Years later, she's excited to share her experiences with her daughters Savannah and Macy and her husband, Rick. The Nulands' travel plans include a five-day trip to France before heading to the United Kingdom. On their last night in Paris, an innocent mishap with their youngest daughter initiates a devastating chain of events that changes the family's life forever. Five years have passed, and Savannah's fate comes to light. After years of grooming, she is auctioned to a Middle Eastern man who then gives her as a gift to Ali, his youngest of three sons. Aware of the brothers' heinous treatment toward the women owned by them, Savannah anticipates her death and even welcomes it, if only to end her suffering. That is, until she meets Ali's younger sister, Faizal. A bond between the two young women is formed, giving Savannah a reason to live. However, the rift between Ali and his brother, Omari, is heightened when Savannah's beauty is unveiled. Jealousy, rage, and family honor put Savannah's life on borrowed time.
