Mason is a very successful business person. He owns Build Great Ocean Enterprises, a large business in South Australia that manufactures made-to-order bathroom fittings, targeting the rich and famous. He has worked very hard to grow the business.

Despite all the money that Mason has made in the business, he has no close family around her and is not able to create any meaningful relationships. He is extremely busy but sometimes gets very lonely.

Mason is now approaching 70 years of age and feels that he needs help with running his business. Mason has a niece, Madison, who is an accountant working for a large accounting practice in New York. Mason asks Madison to move over to South Australia and help him run Build Great Ocean Enterprises.

Mason promises Madison that he would give Madison 50% of her business, Build Great Ocean Enterprises, if Madison works for him for 3 years.

Madison has just settled into a new dream position at the accounting practice. She also has just moved into a new home which she purchased with her partner Derick, who also works in New York. Derick does not want to relocate. Because Derick refuses to relocate, Madison and Dericko's relationship breaks down, and Derick starts a new relationship with another woman.

Madison and Derick sell the house. She then quits her job and moves to South Australia to start a new life with her aunt. After eight months together, the relationship between Madison and Mason breaks down and Mason throws Madison out of her house and her business. Madison is angry as she has lost everything.
