Ruhani has one goal in life: to unveil her mother's secrets. But what about an unforgiving world that believes in trading them rather than plain old stumbling upon one? 

When she travels to 1940s Rangoon, she must fulfil her responsibilities as a marionette, but everything isn't simple enough when everyone is busy tearing her skin apart to hide their own scars. In a desperate attempt, she ends up signing a deal that asks her for more than she could ever fathom. The worst part? She proposed it. 

Keiyoushi Monbatsu, promisee of the said deal, is out to get her under his thumb and extend Japanese ambitions despite the political developments between India and Burma. In the geopolitics of World War II, the one who controls all secrets begins treading on the path to become one himself.

After being laid off right before the holidays, Betty Highland asks her twin brother Patrick for a place to stay while she gets back on her feet. Unable to help her personally, Patrick suggests she work for his life-long best friend Everett, a recently divorced single father in need of a live-in nanny and housekeeper. Unbeknownst to Patrick, Betty and Everett share a secret past - a teenage fling they've kept hidden for years. They can't reject his idea without revealing their secret, so they agree. Their new arrangement forces Betty to lead by example for four-year-old Lucy, and forces Everett to face the feelings he's suppressed for so long. Betty and Everett learn just how much (and also how little) can change in one short year.
