Von außen betrachtet führt Lorrie, 16, ein privilegiertes Leben: Sie hat ihr geliebtes Reitpferd Orion, besucht ein exklusives Internat und bewegt sich dort unter lauter reichen Mädchen. Doch hinter dieser Fassade sieht alles ganz anders aus: Ihr Zuhause, Edgewater House, ein ehemals herrschaftliches Anwesen, ist völlig heruntergekommen, ihre Familie lebt in einer Traumwelt und Lorrie versucht als Einzige verzweifelt, den Anschein von Normalität aufrechtzuerhalten. Doch dann bleiben eines Tages die monatlichen Zahlungen aus und Lorrie muss als Erstes ihr Pferd verkaufen. Bei ihren verzweifelten Nachforschungen kommt sie einem Familiengeheimnis auf die Spur, in dem ausgerechnet Charlie Copeland, der Junge, in den sie sich gerade verliebt hat, eine bedeutsame Rolle spielt.
