Belladonna Patreoni's family is a crime family of yesteryear, leaving her with valuable underworld connections to try and rid society of a serial killer while preserving the family code.

When Belladonna's nephew, Ricky Heartner, turns up missing, she must find out what happened to him before anyone else gets hurt. Along the way, she is forced to deal with the mob in her own unique way, doing things she wouldn't have previously dreamed. Belladonna also thought she would never love again, that is until Scott Minard enters her life.

As Belladonna sits on the last tread of the stone stairway that leads down into the solitude of justice—a hidden room in her house where the family code lives—she embraces all the bad deeds that will be righted, convincing herself she will do the right thing in the name of the family code.
