Successful photographer Jo Hathaway has her life firmly under control—at least until the day she finds anonymous photos in her mail: snapshots and close-ups of herself. She is deeply disturbed—who could have gotten so close to her unnoticed and taken these pictures? When photos of a beautiful, naked, dead woman are also sent, Jo collapses—this woman was her mother. Jo was just a little girl when her mother disappeared without a trace one night. The painful loss divided and destroyed the Hathaway family. Jo then fled, determined never to see her family and her childhood home again. Reluctantly, she now decides to go home because of these photos to find the answer to her questions. Her family home on the wildly romantic Desire Island is now a small hotel run by her brother. The encounter with her siblings and father leads to sibling rivalries, jealousies, pain and bitterness once again. But Jo is not safe on Desire either; photos reappear. Jo's childhood friend, architect Nathan Delany, stands by her side, and affection quickly turns into love. But Nathan doesn't just seem to know about the secrets of Jo's soul... In the confrontation with the murderer, Jo must finally face her own tragic past.
