But when Vincenzo is spurned by his aristocratic lover he vows to avenge his honor by becoming the wealthiest man in Italy. Sacrificing love and family he strives to buy what cannot be his by birth. Not to be outdone by the men the Florio women unapologetically demand their place outside the restraints of caring mothers alluring lovers or wounded wives.
