Ruby is working two jobs to support her seriously ill mother and sister. One night, a man comes into the store and catches her eye. It's Ares Koullakis, the terribly handsome Greek millionaire. He asks her out, but Ruby coldly dismisses him, not trusting a man like him. Ares is intrigued by her tenacity and continues flirting with her, and although she knows she shouldn't, she eventually gives in to his charm and gives her virginity to him. But little is she aware of the cruel fate that awaits her...
