Synopsis:
After Isabel's sudden death, Jaime, her former lover turned butler, is left in charge of Prince, her elegant and beloved Afghan Hound. According to her will, Prince has inherited Isabel's house, where Jaime must continue to live with him—and which her human heirs can only claim after the dog's death. But Isabel's son and granddaughter are unwilling to accept the conditions peacefully. As Jaime struggles to protect Prince, he must also contend with his grief and the resentment of Diego, his estranged son from a past he refuses to face.
