A recently widowed Duchess makes a daring choice: she marries for love, defying her powerful brothers who believe they control her destiny. This act of rebellion ignites a power struggle. Consumed by a toxic mix of greed and a warped sense of entitlement, the brothers unleash a campaign of cruelty to bend the Duchess to their will.
