An affair with a married congressman leads to witnessing a drug deal and murder, putting the youngest, Chase, in harm’s way, and the spoiled debutante makes sure to spread the trouble, including seducing the lead detective on the case. A career choice pits a daughter against her parents, resulting in a dangerous deception with deadly consequences. A corporate buy-out goes wrong, threatening the family’s reputation, tearing father and son apart and sparking an attraction that could ruin several lives.

Although toxic for anyone who crosses their path, most interesting are the Chase family members’ relationships with each other; the rivalry between Steven and Carter, the jealousy between Leigh and Haley, the competition between Carter and Michael, and the controlling nature of Janet’s relationship with both her daughters. Then there are the explosive battles between Janet and the daughter-in-law she hates, Kimberly, a former model with a dark past whose plans could ultimately shake the very foundations of the Chase dynasty—and change their view from the top forever.
