Weston and Irene grow up together in an orphanage, bound by a promise they never forget. At eight, Weston is taken away by a powerful family, and lies tear them apart for twenty years. He grows into a business tycoon, never giving up the search, while Irene struggles at the bottom of society, too ashamed to reveal herself. When they reunite, and Weston is told she is married with a child, his love turns fierce and uncompromising, determined to claim her no matter the cost.
