Ivy, the true Hawthorne heiress, discovers she's bound by blood to every adult family member—her pain becomes theirs. When fake daughter Natalie tries to kill her by fire, the entire Hawthorne family suffers alongside Ivy. After eight years in prison, Natalie steps between Ivy and a bottle of acid, sacrificing her arm to save the sister she once tried to destroy. In that moment, the bond of blood is replaced by something stronger: choice.
