Ava Moore, an attending ER surgeon in Manhattan, comes from a police family. After her parents passed away, she adopted the abandoned neighbor girl Raven as her only family. Years later, Raven becomes the leader of the Red Snake gang in Brooklyn and faces drug charges.
To get an immunity deal for Raven, Ava is forced to get engaged to Senator Ethan Sterling, trading her freedom and savings. Obsessive Raven thinks Ethan is unworthy of Ava and keeps interfering in their life. When Raven finds out Ava sacrificed herself just to save her, she changes completely and uses her gang to protect Ava.
Soon Ava discovers Ethan is a hypocrite. He uses their engagement to cover up his affair and tries to ruin Ava’s career once exposed. Cornered, Ava teams up with Raven. They leak his affair proof and family money-laundering records to the New York Post.
