Grace Colby arrived in New York City in 1933 with nothing but her naïve dreams of becoming an award-winning journalist. The bustling streets promised stories to crack, but her idealistic hopes quickly unravel after she goes undercover in a notorious brothel and becomes deeply entangled in a brutal mafia war. As she uncovers a chilling scheme involving a mafia don selling children to settle debts, her investigation takes an unexpectedly personal turn-one that shatters her reality when Grace discovers devastating secrets about her own past, forcing her to confront the truth behind her family's darkest connections and her place within a world far more depraved than she ever imagined. In a city where corruption is law and innocence is a liability, Grace's pursuit of justice becomes a perilous fight for survival. The lines between right and wrong blur, she must decide if seeing her investigation through to the end is worth risking everything she has left.
