Synopses & Reviews
Cousins and childhood best friends Dahlia and Sunny Gordon shared a love for making music that was as radiant as the California sunshine. But a darkness was descending on Sunny that would ultimately plunge her into a nightmare of solitude and schizophrenia and tear their lives apart.
Years later, Dahlia's dream of making it in the L.A. music business rests on one forgotten song. Desperate for success, she must find her cousin again in order to secure fame and fortune. There are no depths Dahlia will not sink to in order to get what she wants -- even if it means moving her cousin, demons and all, into her own home.
Yet selfish motives and greed are, remarkably, leading Dahlia somewhere she never imagined she'd go. For the first time she will have to put someone else's needs before her own, and her own life will be unexpectedly transformed in the process.
