Kristin, a writer in her middle age, is grappling with the challenges of her son leaving for college, a chauvinistic boss, and her husband's recent infidelity. Amidst this turmoil, Bianca, a trusted advisor to Kristin's estranged grandfather, informs her of his passing and insists she attend his funeral in Italy. Though hesitant at first, Kristin's friend Jenny, a vocal attorney, convinces her that this journey could be the key to her recovery. However, things take a dangerous turn when the funeral transforms into a bloody shootout, and Kristin discovers that her grandfather intended for her, the only living heir, to take on the mantle of leader for Calabria's most formidable Mafia family.—Frank Liesenborgs
