As the daughter of Korean bodega owners, Jia Song promised herself that she would have every luxury when she grew up. Now she's made junior partner at her prestigious law firm, and it's all finally within reach. So when her boss asks her to sit in on the hush-hush family implosion of a client, she accepts without hesitation - only to find out that it is one of the most famous Korean families in the world.

The Parks and their mega successful Korean beauty brand are worth a billion dollars. But the father is filing for divorce while his wife is dying, and the children can't stop fighting. With both the family fortune and their legacy under threat from the worst kind of scandal, it's up to Jia to set things right - and she only has a month to do it.

As Jia chases the truth across the globe, she finds herself falling for this broken family, though it's clear they're hiding dark secrets. Can she find the truth in time to protect their fortune and secure her success at the firm? And can she hold on to what's most important, even if it means admitting that what she's always wanted isn't what she actually needs?
