While navigating the challenges of running a company at 23, Cosima must also maintain the elegant 400-year-old family palazzo in Venice and care for her younger siblings: Allegra, who survived the tragedy that killed their parents, and Luca, who has a penchant for wild parties, pretty women and poker tables. Cosima navigates her personal and professional challenges with wisdom beyond her years, but her success has come at a cost - her needs are always secondary. 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. But Luca's gambling habit gets out of control, and Cosima is forced to make an impossible choice to save him. The palazzo, the family business or cut Luca loose? Or is there another way to rescue everything she has fought for before it goes up in flames? ER -
