Ivy endures six humiliating years of domestic abuse under her fiancé Ethan, tolerating his vicious mood swings solely to secure black-market medication for her dying father's lungs. That fragile endurance disintegrates into horror when she overhears Ethan laughing with his sister-in-law mistress, scheming to let her father suffocate and keep Ivy imprisoned.
Stealing away into the rain-slicked city streets, Ivy presents an ancient silver vendetta rosary at the fortress gates of Willian, the ruthless new Don of the syndicate. As Willian steps out into the courtyard offering her a blood-red rose and lethal protection, Ethan discovers his treachery has signed his own execution warrant.
