Owen Sparks has everything at twenty-three. His dot-com millions bought him success, resentment, and endless requests for handouts. He walks away from it all, heading for a remote island halfway around the world where no one knows his name or his bank account. The plan works until he meets Calia Reed. The British woman vacations in the Maldives with her brother James, and she knows nothing about Owen's former life. For the first time, Owen considers that isolation might be better with company. Owen's carefully mapped escape goes wrong in ways he never imagined. A single decision creates consequences that reach two passengers boarding a plane in Chicago. When Owen arrives at Anna and T.J.'s door with his story, the connections between their lives become clear. Everyone discovers how their separate journeys led to the same destination.
