Raised and trained by Steven Gray, a former consigliere of her family, she transforms into a lethal weapon, driven by a burning desire for vengeance. After thirteen years, she meticulously eliminates those responsible, leaving only one target: Luca Diesta, the gang's main leader.

However, Stephanie's quest takes an unexpected turn when she encounters Luca's son, Kaden, now the head of the empire. Will she let her vengeful purpose falter in the face of unexpected emotions for Kaden?
