Sky lives a meager hand-to-mouth existence on city streets until estate attorneys arrive with shocking news: she is the legitimate sole heir to the monumental Ashford corporate fortune. Summoned to attend the funeral of the father she never met, she embarks across town in worn clothing, eager to understand her roots.
En route, she collides with Grace, the pompous wife of her father's adopted son, who uses familial prestige to have Sky detained and battered at a local precinct. Unaware that the ragged girl she is abusing controls the entire Ashford fortune, Grace faces total financial destruction when family elders recognize the true heiress.
