About The Cousins
The wealthy Story family seemed perfect until the four children were cut off by their mother with a single message: “You know what you did.” Years later, cousins Aubrey, Milly, and Jonah receive an invitation to work at their estranged grandmother’s island resort. Curious about the family legacy, they arrive determined to uncover the truth, but the Story name is built on secrets that may be better left alone.
