All families have secrets, but Helen has found that hers go on for decades. When her aunt dies and her estate goes to an unexpected family member, Helen's suspicions mount and her search for answers takes her through situations that she never expected, and carries on for decades. From a young age Helen knew her family were different, with a mother too caring for her own good, and aunts that seem to care more about property and wealth than each other. As a seemingly nondescript, non-assuming youngster, Helen hears dribs and drabs not intended for her young ears. It's not until she's an adult, and all sorts of painful problems crop up, that she begins investigating the truth. It's up to her now to find out what happened all those years ago. Blood may run thicker than water, but money conquers all.
