Lily, a hardworking Chinese-American girl in New York, is publicly humiliated at her own engagement party. Her fiancé of five years, Marco, reveals his "true" bride is the socialite Victoria, who pours red wine over Lily’s face and mocks her as a "plate-washing pet." Marco’s mother, Linda, has Lily tossed out like trash, blacklisting her from every restaurant in the city. Broken and drenched in wine, Lily literal falls into the arms of a mysterious, jewelry-clad Sicilian matriarch. When asked if she wants revenge or to see them beg, Lily demands both. The old woman’s solution? "Marry my grandson tonight." Little does the Moretti family know, Lily is about to become the wife of the man who owns them all.
