After serving eight years in prison for killing her abusive father, ex-con Eva enters a proxy marriage with Vito Ashford, the ruthless, absent Don of the Ashford Syndicate.
At his fortified estate, she discovers Vito’s sick mother Eleanor and young daughter Rosalie are denied proper care and living allowances, while his greedy aunt Regina and uncle Thomas have siphoned off millions in family funds for their own gain.
Unflinching, Eva takes charge of the household, shields the two, and dismantles the couple’s scheme. When Vito returns from the front lines, he expels his traitorous kin, claims Eva as his equal partner, and they set out for Las Vegas to build their shared empire.
