Leaving no stone unturned, Jacey takes control of Mr. Stockton's finances after discovering a conspiracy to defraud her daddy. He dies eight months later. The family is ripped apart. Seemingly, they go directly from the grave to the courthouse. There is a lawsuit and a counter-suit, but Jacey is not intimidated by the powerful attorney her deceptive step-mother has hired.
