“Can you see the sunset real good on the West side? You can see it on the East side too.”
― S.E. Hinton, The Outsiders
The once pleasant Sunset Valley is overshadowed by the invisible yet omniscient presence of the bitter struggle between the 'old blood' Landgraabs and the 'new blood' Altos. This battle spanning six years dictates each and every aspect of life in the suburban neighborhood.
And in this anarchic backdrop, the destinies of six very different women collide, to be changed forever...
In a world of high business and low cunning, who of these six women will survive and emerge victorious?
Holly Alto
The only daughter of a multimillionaire businessman and a powerful socialite, Holly has the best of both worlds. It would have been a perfect life, had she not felt so lonely and disillusioned.
Tamara Donner
Beautiful and charismatic, Tamara is an average working girl with a not-so-average streak of ambition. She dreams of prestige and wealth, and would rather use her beauty than her brains to get them.
Bessie Clavell
As a girl, Bessie dreamed of becoming a famous pianist. At fifty, her dream seems never to be realized, but she has a loving (if somewhat bitter) husband and an adorable (if somewhat unpredictable) son.
Darlene Bunch
The youngest (at the moment) of a close, if somewhat turbulent, working-class family, Darlene tries her best, but her losing streak doesn't really help things.
Erin Kennedy
A born recluse, Erin is devoid of any self-confidence. All insecurities, however, are neatly hidden behind an imposing military facade that gives the only excitement she ever had.
Jacqueline Landgraab
The blood of her proud ancestors coursing down her veins, Jacqueline's birth heralds the crumble of the town's royal family.
