Whisked away to his grand house, it seems Ruby can perhaps forget the shocking reason she and Paul must wed in secret and remain husband and wife in name alone.
But the expensive walls of Cypress Woods cannot shut out the cold eyes of Paul's mother, Gladys, reminding Ruby of the secret she must keep to give Pearl a loving father.
