Rain lashes the pavement as a terrified 23-year-old girl flees her uncle's hired kidnapper. Desperate, she bursts into a dimly lit hall where Alexander, 32, presides over a mafia meeting.

Alexander pauses, his harsh gaze meeting hers, weighing whether to save her or discard her like the many others who have sought his protection.
