In college, Diana paid $180,000 of her own savings to cover Cillian's medical bills. They dated for four years—she thought it was love, but he never forgot the money, believing his feelings had been priced. Four years after they break up, Diana's family has fallen, and she's waiting tables in Boston to pay off debts, while Cillian has become a feared mob boss no one dares call by name. When they meet again, he assumes she's come crawling back, and treats her coldly, even cruelly. But Diana stands tall, rebuilding her life on her own terms. As they cross paths again and again, Cillian discovers she's stronger and more captivating than he ever knew—and learns the truth: that $180,000 was everything she had, and she never asked for anything in return. Filled with regret, he pursues her desperately. In the end, his sincerity wins her back, and they find their way to each other again.
