A single phone call sends her biological father, Dante, and his entire family on an urgent search.
Determined to claim the family’s fortune, her adoptive parents copy her butterfly birthmark onto their biological daughter and pass her off as the missing child. Evelyn bravely exposes their abuse and deception, reclaiming her identity and her family. Once an abused little match seller, she becomes a cherished daughter, finding warmth and belonging while teaching a family of feared mobsters how to care for a child with tenderness.
