While in Mexico, she meets Lizzie and Gael, who present her with an irresistible challenge: the siblings want her to help them find a valuable ring that once belonged to Frida Kahlo, the famous Mexican artist. What better way to honor her father than returning a priceless piece of jewelry that once belonged to his favorite artist? But the brother and sister have a secret. Do they really want to return the ring, or are they after something else entirely?
