Three couples. Two rival stables. One unforgettable summer. A steamy romance full of entanglements and rivalries, perfect for fans of Rivals.

Issues of class, sex, money - and occasionally love - play out on the polo fields and paddocks of a wealthy village where rich kids Bex, Hugo, Freddie, and Luella have grown up.

Everything changes when Carrie, a feisty truth-teller who loves horses, moves to the area. Carrie quickly attracts Freddie's notice when she starts working at his family's stables. But disaster strikes when Freddie's favourite horse is poisoned, causing her rider to fall during a polo match and seriously injure himself.

Evidence points to Kit, a groom from a rival stable, being the culprit. But Carrie has reason to believe that somebody has framed her new friend Kit. Fearless and fiercely loyal, she'll stop at nothing to find the true culprit—even if it gets in the way of the romance that's blooming between her and Freddie...

In a village where everyone knows everyone, how can you tell who's out to get you?
