What do you think of my story idea? Sibling rivalry?

The privileged world of three brothers is rocked when their fiery younger cousin comes to live with them. A story of family, sibling rivalry and growing up, that follows the children through their teens and early adulthood. Character profiles are below:

Everett "Rhett": Pretty much your typical rich kid on the surface - very attractive, very intelligent, highly sociable, has lots of friends, Head Boy at school. But has a more secretive, sensitive self that develops as he gets older. Has a reckless streak, but a good heart.

Campbell "Cam": Two years younger than Everett. Very physically fit but not as stunning attractive, also very intelligent, but not as sociable. A typical lad as a boy, but quickly develops into a colder, very ambitious, very controlling, more uptight character than his older brother. His credentials are perfect, his personality and behaviour are not. Has a dark side that only his family is aware of.

Alastair "Al": The youngest, born six years after Campbell. Much quieter and less alpha-male than his two brothers, he doesn't really fit into the family. His brothers tease him as a child, but when they get older Everett looks after him at school, although Campbell just becomes harsher. Likes to read and draw, very sensitive, gets on best with his younger, female cousin (below).

Zara -- Born a couple of years after Alastair, she goes to live with her more privileged cousins at the age of 8 as her mother can no longer look after her. She's fiery, domineering and immediately rocks their very controlled, perfect image of a family. Everett is very protective of her, but she soon proves that it's them who need to be protected from her.
