Als die Studentin Valentina Haynes entdeckt, dass ihr Bruder bei dem gefährlichsten Kredithai in Johannesburg eine unmöglich hohe Summe Schulden hat, gibt es nur einen Weg, ihrer beider Leben zu retten: Sie muss Gabriel Louws Eigentum werden.

Also habe ich mir einen Plan ausgedacht, um sie zu behalten.
