    [synopsis] => WITH THE BEAUTY AND MAJESTY OF KENTUCKY HORSE-RACING COUNTRY AS THE BACKDROP, TWO GROUPS OF LIFELONG FRIENDS FIND THEIR LIVES INTERTWINED IN A MYSTERY THAT UNCOVERS HIDDEN FAMILY SECRETS.

Brock Skinner wonders why a neighbor of his brother-in-law (Marcel) wants them to be on the board of his company. The circumstances seem a little too good to be true. Brock needs to know exactly how the business became so profitable, so fast. Is it a scheme of corporate corruption? Are they being set up?

Childhood friends Elijah Ashby, Marilyn McDonald, and Cheryl Welch are involved in a louver company, the very one in which Brock and Marcel agreed to join the board. The friends realize they may have a problem when Brock starts asking too many questions. He is driven to find out what's going on, and the partners are committed to keeping him in the dark. How else will their scheme work? Brock learns there's much more to this company, the owners, and their connection than meets the eye. He knows that things always come down to money, and the palpable friction between Elijah, Marilyn, and Cheryl piques his interest.

With inside information from high school friends Penny and Esther, Kyle Becker crafts strategies for betting and winning money on long-odds Thoroughbreds. But with an undercurrent of jealousy over Kyle, the two women may not be as helpful as he'd hoped-and in fact may be to his detriment. It could be that leading them on has backfired. After meeting Marilyn McDonald at the track, Kyle finds himself caught up in an elaborate web of blackmail and secrets that threaten to unravel plans for the louver company. Brock knows something isn't right, and he intends to get to the bottom of it-no matter the cost!
