With her succession to the throne of the Italian Mafia Crime Family hindered by the challenge posed by the newly-crowned Boss of the Russian Federov Crime family, disillusioned Irene Caravello is determined to play the cards to her favour.

As Underboss of The Caravello Mafia, Irene undertakes a dangerous operation to retrieve a family heirloom stolen by her ex-lover, only to be returned when his proposal is accepted.

Livid, she begrudgingly forges an alliance with The Federov's strikingly cynical ex-consigliere, Valerian Orlov, and in return agrees to grant him immunity.

As the lines between hatred and lust blur, the story unravels to reveal the truth which leaves Irene to believe if everything was indeed an illusion all along.

And as the faces disappear off the cards, Irene must weave her own path to the top, rise above the rest and emerge victorious in this cross-fire.
