Lansor arrives at her cathedral wedding only to discover her father has died, leaving her design firm buried under crushing debts. When her cowardly fiancé tears up their license and runs off with her closest friend, Lansor offers her ring to whoever has the courage to kiss her, prompting a ragged street drifter to step forward.

Bound by a secret debt from seven years ago, Kalenso quietly wipes out Lansor's liabilities and shields her from ruthless predators, while keeping his terrifying criminal empire hidden from her sight.
