With those words an amazing journey begins for an entrepreneur whose business empire is under siege, a teenage girl trying to escape her life, a young man forced to choose between love and family, a singer torn apart by her love for two different men and an ailing film star embroiled in a bizarre kidnapping gone wrong!
