Clara Edwards wants nothing more than to help her loving husband, James, earn enough money to move them into a larger home, so they can finally start the family that she's been dreaming of. She manages to secure a position as a maid in the household of the wealthy, well-respected De Luca family, but on her way home, she's attacked by a man, and left traumatized.

While she navigates through a new life of pain, fear, and blood, Clara tries to buckle down and find a way out that will keep her and her husband safe, but a young French housewife can only do so much against the mafia...
