Hope, an Architect, loses her grandmother suddenly. When Hope returns to her hometown to close out her grandmother’s affairs, she learns there is a stipulation in her grandmother’s will. She has to stay in her Grandmother’s house for a certain period of time in order to receive the remainder of her inheritance.

This Cinderella story blends the emotional resonance of Under the Same Moon with the transformational charm of My Fair Lady. At its center is Xochitl, a Mexican-American street fruit vendor whose life takes an unexpected turn when a powerful film director makes her the subject of a daring bet with his career rival. Xochitl is thrust into a world she perceives as hostile. What follows is a clash of cultures—paving the way for new friendships, surprising rivalries, and life-altering consequences.
