Maria stands on the verge of what should be a fairy-tale wedding until she uncovers incontrovertible proof of her fiancé's clandestine affair. Instead of weeping or negotiating, she boldly calls off the ceremony in front of high society and steps out of the cathedral alone. Stripping off her veil and reclaiming her independence, she resolves to build a successful career entirely on her own terms.
Her clean break takes an electric turn when she crosses paths with Alec, her ambitious college ex who has transformed into an influential venture capital mogul. Alec has never stopped regretting their youthful separation, and he offers Maria executive partnership along with unyielding personal devotion. As her humiliated ex-fiancé schemes to sabotage her projects and beg for reconciliation, Maria steps into her power beside a partner who respects her.
