Parolee Amy Breeden held herself together during nearly two thousand days of incarceration with a single-minded focus: to destroy the dude who did her in. Within hours of her release, Amy hits the lotto mega-million jackpot.
"Living well is the best revenge," her parole officer advises, but Amy is hellbent on revenge.
A former Chicago crime boss, an estranged brother, a substitute mom, a zany house painter, a pre-imprisonment pal - and the handsome parole officer - complicate Amy's quest for empowerment. When Amy's longtime nemesis invades her haven, her ire ignites. She becomes more determined than ever to avenge herself.
The aging crime boss enjoins her mission. Victory is finalized when she's able to buy her mortal enemy's thriving bar in a fire sale... and becomes the Boss.
But is that enough? Will revenge result in satisfaction? Will her personal redemption require more than revenge and the monetary reward to live well?
