In the early 21st century, Alexandra Lasalles, an orphan, lives a blissfully fulfilled life with an avidly successful career, a seemingly adoring partner and a stylish apartment in Sydney, Australia. This is all about to change.
A female close to Alex received eternal life in the fourteenth century and is a member of a group known as The Xanda. Alex knows nothing of this. Throughout centuries The Xanda are the ardent guardians in what they perceive to be the precious gift of eternal life. They are ruthless in accomplishing its preservation. They will harm anyone, kill anyone, to ensure the gift is maintained. Crucially, the gift must be accepted once every one hundred and eleven years by the eldest daughter in the Lasalles family or the gift is expunged. Alex refuses and The Xanda creates catastrophic circumstances that resonate throughout Alex's previously perfect life.
A ghost, Yolande Lasalles, murdered in the eighteenth century by The Xanda when she refused eternal life, becomes Alex's spirit guide. The only way they can communicate is to utilize the scented white flower of the Datura tree.
Subsequent of Yolande's and Alex's evasive tactics, The Xanda create havoc, impinging on the lives of Alex, her close friend Lauren Webb, and Lauren's toddler daughter. Detective Senior Sergeant Jondhal and his colleague, James Nguyen, slowly but irretrievably also become implicated in Alex's life with devastating consequences. Both groups fight for survival to the bitter end.
Three women.
Two choices.
Game on.
