For his sons, Ted and John, and their wives, its an opportunity to curry favor, gain control of a real estate empire, and secure their familys futures.

Shes the least of the nights surprises. As the stakes for the inheritance of the Kingsley legacy are raised, the beautiful waters of the Pacific look more like a menacing illusion.

Thats the plan. But in the coming storm, so much can go dangerously wrong.
