Bob Warner is the head of the powerful international company Warner Enterprises. His business meant moving his family around the world, including stays in Saudi Arabia and London. In Saudia Arabia, his youngest daughter Marie immersed herself in Middle Eastern culture and learned Arabic. Bob became a widower after the family moved to London, prompting a grief-stricken Marie to run away. His older daughter, Katie, is very protective of her younger sister and is an employee at Warner Enterprises.
