After her parents perish in a tragic accident, Cosima Saverio assumes leadership of her family's luxury Italian leather brand. Cosima must maintain the four-hundred-year-old family palazzo in Venice and care for her younger siblings: Allegra and Luca. She's married to the business, and her free time is given to those who rely on her... until she meets Olivier Bayard, the founder of France's most successful ready-to-wear handbag company. A brief conversation on her palazzo's terrace turns into a tour of the Saverio workshop, and, fifteen years after her parents' deaths, Cosima has found a confidant. Now the business is financially stable and generating enough income for the Saverios to live comfortably. Then Luca loses a hefty sum at the casino, and his debt must be repaid with money or his life. Cosima, forced to bail him out, is given an impossible choice: List the palazzo, sell a third of the family business, or let Luca fend for himself.
