Ricky Lam had a successful film career, but his drug and alcohol addictions were about to destroy him--until his business manager, straight-arrow older brother Philip, strong-armed him into a treatment clinic. Fifteen years later, Ricky's still clean, and a major star, but his past has caused a rift with his brother the two have never managed to mend. When Philip dies, Ricky decides to reset his priorities. He turns his back on Hollywood, invites his two illegitimate sons into his life, hoping to become a real father to them, and dedicates himself to his brother's dream--the construction of a unique resort in South Carolina called the Crown Jewel. He also encounters his sister-in-law, Roxy Lam, who leads him to the mystery at the center of his brother's life and into a love affair.
