Story Guide
Episode 1
Angie's mother is gone, and her last words were simple: obey your father. Angie tries. Her stepmother Catherine says she eats too much, so she's fed once a day. Her stepsister Chloe calls her dirty, so she sleeps on the cold garage floor. She obeys all of it, and her father Sal still looks at her like she's trash he wants gone.
On Thanksgiving night, the rain is brutal. Chloe demands a pastry, so Sal shoves a crumpled dollar into Angie's hand and sends her out into the freezing dark. She walks for hours, buys the pastry, and comes home to an empty apartment. She waits two days, starving. Then she finds her mother's notebook with Sal's work address and walks all the way to Manhattan — where she sees her father's new family celebrating through a restaurant window without her.
Episode 2
Angie stands outside the fanciest restaurant in the city, watching her father clink glasses with Catherine and Chloe. She finally understands: he is never coming back. She looks down at the stale pastry in her hands and decides to just eat it herself.
Then she hears a man near a sleek black SUV begging someone to take their pills. She steps toward the open car door and offers her sweet pastry instead. The man with striking gray eyes starts coughing violently, and his bodyguard Bruno shoves her to the pavement. The box slips from her frozen fingers and lands in the wet concrete.
Angie gets up, grabs the filthy box, and starts to walk away — until a raspy, commanding voice tells her to wait.
Episode 3
The man with the gray eyes asks her name, and something in his gentle concern breaks her. She tells him: Angie, six years old, mother dead, father has a new family and threw her away.
Her mind drifts back to how it all happened. Sal left for the syndicates when she was barely a baby, promising to return, then went silent for five years. When he finally came back, it was with Catherine and Chloe in a luxury car and a fight in the cramped kitchen. He signed the divorce papers and never glanced at Angie.
After that, her mother got sick. On her deathbed she begged Angie to be good and never make her father angry.
Episode 4
The don's eyes fill with pity. He asks for the pastry, but Angie hides the soggy box behind her back — it dropped in a puddle, it's dirty, he can't eat it. He gently takes it anyway, saying there are clean parts inside.
Bruno panics as the man pinches off a clean piece of the shell and eats it. Instantly his body stiffens, and he coughs up dark, clotted blood. Bruno grabs Angie by the collar, demanding to know who sent her and whether she knows she just poisoned Don Vince Capretti, the most powerful mob boss in New York.
Angie kicks and screams — then spots Sal leaving the restaurant. She begs him for help. He scoffs, denies knowing her, and hurries Catherine and Chloe into the car.
Episode 5
Angie is dragged into a massive mansion, where a fierce woman demands to know who sent her to kill her brother, threatening to feed her to the hounds. Angie insists she only thought a sweet pastry would help him take his medicine. The woman reaches for the dogs' leashes — then a shout stops her: the don is awake.
Upstairs, Vince sits up, having coughed up some of the poisoned blood. Bruno urges him to take his pills, but Vince pushes the tray away, saying the pills only numb the pain and won't save him. Bruno shoves the tray into Angie's hands.
She tells Vince that medicine makes sick people better. He says he isn't sick — he was poisoned. Then a guard bursts in: contacts in South America have secured the synthesized antidote. Bruno stares at Angie in awe, calling her a good luck charm. Vince asks her to stay. She says she wants to.
Episode 6
Angie officially moves into the Capretti estate, with a huge bedroom next to Vince's suite, new clothes, and endless toys. She tries to earn her keep by sweeping floors and feeding the fish, but Teresa the housekeeper gently takes the broom away, joking that if Angie does the chores, the staff will be fired. Her only job: making sure Vince takes his medicine. He hates the bitter pills, but if Angie carries the silver tray with a sweet gummy bear, the terrifying don swallows them without complaint.
One afternoon Vince decides she looks too bare and announces a family crest necklace, designed by him. At a Fifth Avenue jewelry store, Bruno clips a diamond hairpin into her hair — just as a familiar voice rings out. Chloe wants it.
Episode 7
Sal sees Angie and panic flashes across his face. He tries to steer Chloe away, but she insists on the hairpin. When Catherine marches over to snatch it from Angie's head, Bruno grabs her wrist and shoves her to the floor. Sal demands Angie hand it over; for the first time, she refuses. Bruno blocks Sal's lunge, and Sal, not recognizing the bodyguard from that rainy night, threatens him with his syndicate connections. Bruno tells him to get lost.
Humiliated, Sal calls in his thugs. They swarm Bruno and slam him through a glass display. Angie offers up the hairpin to stop it, but Catherine grabs a jagged shard and pins her down, raising it toward her cheek while Sal just watches.
Three gunshots ring out. Catherine's blood splatters Angie's cheek. A voice demands to know who dared touch his daughter.
