When Peggy Gimmel decides to market the apartment she bought decades ago for a couple thousand dollars, she's thrilled to learn that it's worth almost $2 million. But her sudden windfall triggers a cascade of unexpected events and plunges her into the dizzying orbit of Lucinda Wells, one of Manhattan's most successful and ruthless realtors. Peggy's not the only one at Lucinda's mercy. There's the technology entrepreneur struggling to salvage his sinking company while gut-renovating his home. The socialite exiled from Park Avenue to the pull-out sofa of her parents' West Side apartment. The unlawful immigrant amassing a lot of money printing money. The clueless widow wanting to unload a world-class collection of fake artwork. These are are just some of the characters whose lives intersect in unlikely ways, most of them nearly overwhelmed by the rocketing real estate market and the hard-charging broker who holds the keys with their futures.
