Fallon Carrington is charismatic, cunning, and poised to become the new COO of her father Blake's global energy empire - or so she thinks. Along with her brother Steven, Fallon is horrified to learn that they were called home not to announce her promotion - but rather to make the acquaintance of their stepmother-to-be, Cristal. When Blake chooses Cristal over his own daughter, Fallon sidles up to Blake's biggest rival, Jeff Colby, to seek her revenge. Meanwhile, when Cristal's nephew Sammy Jo comes to town, her carefully concealed history could bring her future crashing down - and who knows who else she might take down with her.
