When her best friend Serafina's wedding is shattered by the intervention of Remo, the enigmatic capo of the Camorra, who whisks the bride away into the shadows, Hope's unyielding loyalty drives her to take matters into her own hands.

Yet, what begins as an act of desperation soon evolves into a clash of wits and wills as Hope and Nino are drawn into each other's orbit.
