Yakov's old friends were far away, blown across continents by war . . .

When Skylar meets Yakov she is still reeling from the news of her grandfather's stroke. Yakov is just desperate to go home. They recognise something in each other: a need for friendship, but something else fizzy beneath the surface.

A refusal to accept what life has dealt them; a reckless desire to change things up for the better.

So when there's a competition to own nearby Golden Island, it's no surprise they want it.
