'Meet the Corrigans. Childless Maeve, though rich and successful, is dying of cancer. She wants to leave her business empire to one of the offspring of her two estranged brothers, Des and Leo. But which young relative should she choose?

'Des has four children. His second wife Judith has just left him and he’s over-stretched financially. HIs brother Leo is the unambitious owner of a hardware store in a remote Australian town and has two children. Leo's daughter, suffering from ME/chronic fatigue syndrome, defies him to accept her aunt’s invitation to be treated in England.

'Des's wife Judith has met another man, Cal. But it’s bad timing because Cal has just found out he’s not the biological father of his beloved daughter and his ex-wife wants to take Lily away from him.

'As the younger generation begin to gather around Maeve, old secrets are revealed, new allegiances made, and there are surprises for every member of the family—because the Corrigan Legacy isn’t what it first seems.'
