Ines gathers proof to prosecute the Visconti family that raised her.
After nineteen years with the Visconti crime clan, Ines flees at twenty-three to find her birth parents. Eight months later they hand her to a debt broker for her brother's gambling losses, and the ride drops her back at the Visconti estate. Her adoptive parents demand vengeance, but Ines refuses blood for blood. She pretends to rejoin the household while secretly partnering with Naomi, a woman coerced into serving the organization, to collect evidence of their operations. Ines ultimately dismantles the criminal enterprise, walking away from both the family that sold her and the one that owned her to claim a future she chooses herself.
