A debt-ridden heiress enters a sham marriage with a closeted heir who deserts her immediately.
After her family's business collapses, Fiona Shaw inherits five hundred million in debt and is forced into an arranged marriage with Henry Sterling, the family's second son. Henry weds her only to satisfy his mother Elizabeth and produce an heir that will lock down the Sterling fortune before his half-brother Jeff can challenge it. Secretly devoted to his secretary Louis, Henry abandons Fiona right after their wedding night, leaving her alone with hostile creditors and a hostile household.
