Fiona Shaw's world collapses when her family's business fails, leaving her five hundred million in debt. The Sterlings orchestrate her marriage to their second son Henry, a man who uses the union solely to produce an heir and outmaneuver his half-brother Jeff for his mother Elizabeth's favor. Henry's devotion belongs to his secretary Louis, so he deserts Fiona immediately after the wedding night. Stranded and vulnerable, she encounters a formidable mafia boss who offers shelter and an unexpected alliance.
