Patrick is a wealthy man that finds himself wondering if his fiancé is with him for who he is or for his money. But, when his father puts a hold on his funds, he will learn the truth whether he wants to or not. Sean, Patrick's older brother, is known for being a playboy. But, when he falls in love with a woman that has an 8 years old girl named Ashley, his life takes a new turn.
The Middleton's family, in 1850, is the richest in the Northern region of Georgia with a prestigious plantation. Nathaniel Middleton, a noble and honorable man, marries Sara Hopton and therefore becomes one of the co-owners of her plantation. His identical twin brother and polar opposite, James Middleton, finds himself in gambling debts with the wrong sort of people. These people attempt to kill James for nonpayment, but kill Nathaniel unknowingly. Recognizing that he is fatally wounded and fearing for his brother's safety, Nathaniel forces James to take his place before he dies. James struggles with Nathaniel's life and soon finds himself falling in love with Nathaniel's wife, Sara. As the deception continues, Sara discovers that there are far more deadly secrets on the Hopton plantation than the identity switch.
