Yumi Sato's life has been one of neglect and hardship, growing up in the shadows of Tokyo with a mother who barely noticed her and a father who disappeared when she was only three. Her only refuge was a local dojo, where she honed her skills in martial arts, finding strength and purpose in each disciplined movement.
On her fifteenth birthday, Yumi's life takes a dramatic turn. Her mother dies in a tragic car accident, and Yumi is thrust into a world she never knew existed. She learns of her half-brothers living in England - four men who have built a powerful empire. Hiroshi, Kenji, Ryu, and Akira Takahashi are not just successful businessmen; they are leaders of a feared and respected mafia family.
As Yumi is whisked away to England, she finds herself navigating the treacherous waters of her new life. Each brother brings unique talents to their operations: Daichi, the master strategist; Ryo, the expert negotiator; kenji, the technological genius; and Haru, the combat specialist. They welcome her with open arms, integrating her martial arts prowess into their world of shadows and secrets.
But Yumi's arrival disrupts the delicate balance of the Takahashi family. Torn between her own moral compass and the dark path her brothers tread, Yumi faces a series of daunting challenges. A rival mafia gang threatens their reign, and betrayal lurks within their ranks. As tensions rise, Yumi must decide where her loyalties lie and what kind of future she wants to carve out for herself and her newfound family.
