A designer divorces her billionaire husband after he assaults her mother, then builds a rival fashion empire using her own stolen designs.
Erin Miller spent five years creating the collections that propped up the Walker Group while her husband Alex remained cold. At a gala, Erin toasted her mother Mary, prompting Alex to slap Mary six times and force a public apology. The assault revealed Alex controlled Erin by targeting the person she loved most. Erin filed for divorce, reclaimed 27 design licenses registered in her name, and walked away. Without her work, the Walker Group's MUSE collection collapsed. Desperate, Alex and his father Richard staged a performative apology, even striking their own child, but Erin refused. Backed by lawyer Claire and a $50 million investment from Julia of the Jinhe Group, Erin launched her own label, MARIN. Meanwhile, Julia's cousin Sofia infiltrated the Walker Group, sabotaged inventory with substandard fabric, and challenged Erin to a fashion show vote. Erin won decisively, 1,312 to 217. Sofia exited the industry and exposed the Walker Group's scandals. A year later, Erin accepted the Emerging Fashion Brand of the Year award with her mother beside her.
