Размеренное течение жизни обрывается известием, что ее бывший парень отравлен шоколадом, который производит семья Баланчиных. Аня становится главной подозреваемой. Теперь ей предстоит решить, смириться со злыми происками и подвергнуть опасности свою семью или же стать главой клана, как предписано ей правом по рождению, и отказаться от собственных чувств.

Now eighteen, life has been more bitter than sweet for Anya. She has lost her parents and her grandmother, and has spent the better part of her high school years in trouble with the law. Perhaps hardest of all, her decision to open a nightclub with her old nemesis Charles Delacroix has cost Anya her relationship with Win.
