​Can two sisters achieve their dreams despite social norms and local and worldwide events that impact their lives in the early decades of the 1900s?  Living in a small town in Washington, Pearl must leave her parents and four-year-old sister, Edna, at the age of fourteen to live with her aunt and uncle to attend high school across the sound in Seattle. For the next two decades, the sisters’ lives are influenced by their ten-year age difference, separation, and the historical events of the time, including the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition, Halley’s comet, the sinking of the Titanic, women’s suffrage, World War I, and the Spanish Flu pandemic. Despite the limitations, especially for women, in the early 1900s, Pearl has high expectations for her future, but she and Edna discover they must fight the constraints of society, the limitations of the era, and live with their own choices in their pursuit to fulfill their goals and find happiness.

​​Eight years after graduating from Quantico, FBI agent, Max Landry is home, assigned to the Seattle Bureau office. His probe into the origin of drug-tainted currency leads him to discover an intriguing link to a three-year-old break-in at the Seattle Art Museum. Fueled by his obsessive-compulsive tendencies, he pursues every possible lead. As he delves further into the suspect’s background, Max is increasingly convinced the case involves more than a work of art and the art curator. Risking the ire of the deputy director, Max enlists the assistance of an investigative reporter, who travels to Italy to monitor the suspects during their tour of art museums. With the director skeptical about the FBI’s involvement in the case, Max is ordered to resolve the investigation within two weeks. The situation escalates when the primary suspect is apprehended, revealing a surprising new individual linked to a significant global drug trafficking operation. Will Max manage to resolve the case before time runs out?
