Five years ago, Vera's family was sabotaged into bankruptcy by the Vanderbilt family, and the cold Wall Street tycoon Adrian Sterling completed a deadly low-price acquisition without knowing the truth. Pregnant, Vera left New York in silence. Five years later, Vera returns in force as "S&R," the mysterious architectural planning giant everyone in the industry chases, and plants her five-year-old genius hacker son Leo directly onto Adrian's boardroom table. Faced with a sole heir who dropped out of the sky, Adrian's cold-blooded defenses are shattered completely. And Camille, scheming to marry into the family, repeatedly provokes — only to be dimensionally crushed by the mother and son's top-tier resources and hacking skills. As the truth of the capital bloodbath from five years ago surfaces, Adrian transforms into an overprotective husband and joins forces with Vera for a desperate counter-kill at the summit of Manhattan's power, reclaiming everything that belongs to her.
