Serena endures years of medical exploitation, sacrificing vital tissues and undergoing excruciating grafts to preserve her favored sister's health, all while her husband James remains tethered to her family's demands.

Years later, Serena returns as an internationally acclaimed couture designer, radiant and financially untouchable.

Flanked by a devoted new partner, she reclaims her creative sovereignty and leaves her past in ashes.
