In ancient Rome, a horrifying tradition existed: baby girls were often murdered at birth, viewed as weaker and less valuable than boys, who were considered fit for war and essential to society. Centuries later, echoes of this dark practice linger within certain mafia families. While the killings have stopped, a cruel alternative remains-selling their daughters to other families to avoid appearing weak in the cutthroat world of organized crime. The Hernandez family, with their reputation built on strength and loyalty, has raised eight sons. But when Stefano and Vittoria Hernandez finally welcome a baby girl, their joy is overshadowed by fear. Tradition demands sacrifice, and the family's survival in the mafia world hinges on the unthinkable. They are left with no choice but to give her up, a decision that will haunt them and ripple through their family for years to come.
