Over time, Aurora chooses an unhealthier way of coping with her misery whilst she realises all her hopes and dreams of becoming a writer and a mother become a distant memory as she struggles through life everyday.
On an ordinary Friday, as she contemplates her existence alone, an unexpected incursion by a rival mafia transforms her existence forever...

Nicollo, a twenty-nine-year-old Italian mafia don, is singularly driven by vengeance: to annihilate the man who murdered his mother.
He is a cold man to everyone apart from the people he loves, his brothers.
When he finally finds himself armed with crucial intel about his mother's killer, Nicollo prepares his syndicate to storm the home of the man who murdered his mother. Their mission is clear: eliminate the target, free and threaten the staff, and burn the house to the ground.
However, Nicollo didn't anticipate encountering Aurora, an innocent-looking but supposedly dangerous girl to step into his life. Deciding on a new form of retribution after his original plan failed, he kidnaps Aurora and forces her to marry him to live as the embodiment of punishment for her husband's sins.
