In a world where darkness rules the underworld and innocence lights up ordinary lives, two completely different souls are pulled toward each other by fate. Lucien Costello, 30, is the feared king of the Mafia-half Italian, half Indian. Raised without love, sculpted by violence, and obeyed by every criminal faction across continents, Lucien lives in a world filled with blood, revenge, and cold decisions. He kills without hesitation, trusts almost no one except his right-hand man, Leo, and carries a storm inside him that no one has ever been able to calm... until he sees her. Isha Talwar, 28, is a warm, lively doctor who sees good in everyone. She loves her job, her people, and the simple happiness of life. She is sunshine-kind, cheerful, pure, and grounded. Her best friend Aditi is the sister she never had, and together they navigate the messy, beautiful chaos of adulthood Will Isha's light soften Lucien's darkness? Or will Lucien's darkness consume her?
