In a world where anyone can rise to the top, the only rule
is... watch your back. Eighteen-year-old twins Adam and Amelia Dory learned the
hard way to rely only on each other, growing up in a small
town where they understood the meaning of coming from
nothing. But everything changes when both are offered
scholarships to Stanford University – and catapulted into
the dazzling world of Silicon Valley, where anyone with a
good enough idea can skyrocket to fame and fortune in the
blink of an eye… Amelia is almost as pretty as she is smart – almost. A shy
girl and genius, she is happiest alone in the computer lab,
but her brother has other plans for her talents: A new
company that will be the next Silicon Valley hit, and will
thrust Amelia into the spotlight whether she likes it or
not. Where Amelia’s the brains, Adam’s the ambition – he
sees the privileged lifestyle of the Silicon Valley kids and
wants a piece of what they have. He especially wants a piece
of Lisa Bristol, the stunning daughter of one of the
Valley’s biggest tycoons. As Adam and Amelia begin to hatch their new company, they
find themselves going from nothing to the verge of
everything seemingly overnight. But no amount of prestige
can prepare them for the envy, backstabbing and cool
calculation of their new powerful peers. Welcome to Silicon Valley, where fortune, success – and
betrayal – are only a breath away…
