In the dead of night, eighteen-year-old Rosalind infiltrates a heavily guarded mansion with deadly precision. But instead of following orders, she makes a life-altering choice: shooting her own mother between the eyes and rescuing a four-year-old girl named Miranda from a hidden nursery. This unauthorized mission-stealing a child from the notorious Galliano crime family-earns her a decade of punishment from her employers at the Moirai Group, an elite assassination firm with a ruthless code of conduct. Ten years later, Rosalind guards her most precious secret: Miranda is not her sister, as everyone believes, but her daughter. When her handler Gunther threatens Miranda's safety, Rosalind reluctantly attempts to infiltrate the Montesano crime family. After being rejected by Leroi Montesano, she catches the eye of his cousin Cesare-a medical school dropout with documented sadistic tendencies. What begins as intelligence-gathering spirals into a dangerous game when Cesare takes her to his elaborate BDSM playroom, and her attempt to drug him fails spectacularly. He awakens too soon, capturing her and beginning a harrowing period of captivity where psychological warfare becomes their daily reality.
