Known as The Ice Queen, Anneliese Zander de St Phalle is one of the world's most celebrated fashion designers. With an empire that stretches across continents, she's a truly global brand, in every sense. Yet despite her success, she has a mystery; a reclusive disciplined perfectionist who rarely grants interviews. She is successful and she is talented and that is all anyone needs to know. Anneliese never talks about her past - not even to her only daughter, Callan. She has worked hard to leave it all behind her and it's a time and place to which Anneliese will never return. Or so she thinks. Until, at an exclusive New Year's Eve party at her glamorous island hideaway, a woman appears whom Anneliese has done her best to forget.
