The D'Apliese sisters stand at a crossroads. Six women from across the globe, adopted as babies by their enigmatic billionaire father "Pa Salt," have spent years uncovering their origins through clues he left behind after his death. Named after the Seven Sisters of the Pleiades constellation, they've traveled from Brazil to Norway, Kenya to Australia, each discovering her birth heritage. But one sister remains missing-Merope, the seventh star. With Pa Salt's funeral approaching, their search intensifies, leading them to New Zealand where they meet Mary-Kate McDougal, a young musician with an emerald ring identical to the one in Pa Salt's drawing. Could she be the missing piece of their cosmic puzzle? As they chase Mary-Kate's mother "Merry" across continents, a peculiar pattern emerges-she seems to be deliberately avoiding them, fleeing whenever they draw near. What secret is this woman protecting? And why has she spent decades running from a past she refuses to acknowledge?
