Sophia has spent three years as the "mute, useless wife" of the resentful Theodore. One drunken night, he abandons her on the street, where she falls into a stranger's arms. Then she catches Theodore kissing her beautiful stepsister, and as she flees into the rain, she runs straight into that same stranger. At the Thorne banquet, everyone bows before him: the legendary Mafia Godfather.
