She goes to school, does her work, and never complains. With a solid friend group and a quiet life, she seems to have it all. But no one knows the deadly secret she's been hiding. She's been working with ex-cons to plan her father's murder to protect her and her mother. When a jailbreak goes wrong, she's locked in the wrong cell with a dangerous (yet hot) criminal, and her life changes for the better or the worse. Isaiah Favero is the son of the deadliest mafia boss in Southern Europe. Stuck in prison at just 18 for 6 months, he's given up on escaping-until an annoying girl lands in his cell offering a chance to break free. Now, he's falling for the wrong girl, and he can't let her go. Even if it means both their demise.
