Description

In the desert of Arizona, Bee and Sydelle become unlikely friends.

Far away from her father's fraudulent schemes in Pennsylvania, 22-year-old Bee Wells now works for an Arizona real estate company developing the world's first pandemic-proof community. When Bee's boss sends her to befriend Sydelle Hammer, 92, whose family has ranched on the land adjacent to the planned community for 150 years, the two strike up a friendship. But Bee soon discovers that both her boss and an environmental activist are cooking up shady deals to acquire the ranch. When Sydelle has a mini-stroke, the scavengers start to circle. Disgusted, Bee is compelled to defend her friend. At a crossroads, she must take a stand about the best was forward for the land, for Sydelle-and for herself.
