Mafia queen Ramona is nearly killed by a car bomb while visiting her subordinate’s grave—and wakes up as Tessa, a poor, bullied student. She crushes her bullies with underworld tactics while secretly investigating her own assassination. Her former right-hand man Dante suspects the Mercer family; Conrad and his son Beckett each harbor their own schemes. Posing as a student, Tessa closes in on every faction, subdues Rocco, buys the bar, pays off tuition, and slowly realizes Dante’s loyalty goes far beyond duty. When Dante recognizes his old boss from a single gesture, the queen’s real return begins.
