The posh, yet chic Victoria Cartiér, is an Investment Advisor for a prestigious firm in Manhattan. Residing in the affluent Hamilton Heights of Harlem, seemingly she has it all; success, money, VIP status on 5th Avenue, and a loving husband Malcolm, so she thinks... Apparently, Victoria feels her marriage is quickly headed for trouble and the day she plans to deliver life changing news to Malcolm, she gets deathly news of her own. The uncovered trails of lies, deceit, and betrayal, changes their lives forever, causing her to loose trust in everyone she loves, even God! After loosing everything, except her new baby, will Victoria's love for God, her family, her best friend (tell-it-like-it-is Lucy), and her new beau the God-fearing, charismatic Marcel Bouviér, be enough to convince her exactly how much she is worth, and that if she can only trust God, then she'll see life is truly worth living...
