Separated from her birth family for years, seven-year-old Evelyn suffers abuse at the hands of her adoptive parents and survives by selling matches. On a snowy Christmas night, a missing-child poster offering a five-million-dollar reward leads her to discover that she may be the long-lost daughter of the Moretti crime family. 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.
