Six years ago, an ordinary girl named Annie saved Kyle — the heir of a wealthy family — after he was drugged, and by a twist of fate, the two spent a night together. Rushed away by a sudden debt crisis in Europe, Kyle left behind only a wristwatch bearing the Whitmore family crest as a token to find her again. Annie, however, mistook the expensive watch for nothing more than a man's "consolation prize" and stormed off in a huff. What she never knew: her cousin Cassie casually took the watch, and used it to steal her identity — moving boldly into the Whitmore estate, living the lie for six years. Meanwhile, Annie was pregnant with triplets, raising two boys, Wyatt and Miles, and a girl, Ellie, all on her own. Six years later, they meet again — and the three children recognize their father before either adult does. Now twenty-seven, Annie is a single mother crushed by life: odd jobs by day, bartending at night, with her mother Linda watching the kids. At the same time, Kyle finally returns to Texas to take over the Whitmore family business. When the news shows his return on TV, the three kids spot at a glance how strikingly he resembles them — especially Ellie, who declares without a doubt: "He's our dad." Annie finds the silhouette on screen unsettlingly familiar too, yet she instinctively denies it. The real reunion happens at the bar. Forced by her boss to fill in as a dancer for the kids' living expenses, Annie takes the stage — and Kyle, sensing something familiar about her at first sight, insists she wipe off the heavy makeup. Annie teasingly names an absurd price of a hundred thousand dollars. Kyle agrees on the spot. When the makeup comes off, that face from six years ago floods his memory completely. Before the two can sort out the past, the three kids, who have secretly run off to find their mom, suddenly cry out in unison: "Dad!"
