storyhttp://www.image-entertainment.com/dvd/detail.cfm?productID=63820 was about four attractive young people who discover intrigue and romance after chance encounters with one another. It focused on twisted love triangles and stolen steamy subterfuge surrounding two magnetic men who swap identities. One is a spoiled hotel heir and the other is handsome, but impoverished. They trade places so the rich one can escape his father, who wants his son to give up his carefree life and get a real job.
Sparks fly when a gorgeous woman falls for the privileged heir, even though he is already engaged. Meanwhile, her seductive, gold-digging sister fancies the poor man, thinking he is a big spender. They all live borrowed lives while fighting to find real love, as each character hides secrets and lies.

planned to run the serial
for 65 hour-long episodes, airing weekday evenings, with a recap on Saturday nights. It was to be filmed at Stu Segall Productions
in San Diego. The network's March 1, 2007 announcement that it stopped developing scripted content spelled an end for both the series and the network's slate of telenovelas
