Jazz Kilkullen, is a beautiful and headstrong photographer who owns Dazzle,a photographers studio in Venice Beach, California. She pursues a successful career, as famous herself as most of the celebrities who flock to Dazzle to be photographed by her.
Jazzs heritage is the Kilkullen Ranch, her extraordinary family home. It is an unspoiled cattle ranch that lies on the coast between Los Angeles and San Diego. Originally a Spanish Land Grant to Jazzs ancestors, the ranch is a huge spread encompassing sixty square miles, making Mike Kilkullen, Jazzs father the single largest landowner in California.
The Kilkullen Ranch is a gem now worth three billion dollars. When Jazzs father dies mysteriously, developers all over the world start a stampede to claim it.
Added to this mix are the dynamics of the Kilkullen familys internal strife: the hatred Mike Kilkullens first wife still feels towards him; the tragedy of Jazzs exquisite, stubborn mother, and the machinations of Jazzs two half sisters, one a worldly New York interior decorator, the other a five-times-married socialite who lives only for sexual experimentation.
