A discarded wife returns to her roots to topple the empire she built for her cheating husband.
Evelyn Ashcroft surrendered her inheritance to wed Nathaniel Crowe, a struggling land attorney, then spent a decade channeling her wealth and family ties into his ascent as a New York railway and mining magnate. The alliance collapses when his secretary discloses a son fathered with Vivian, the woman who once married Evelyn's father. Humiliated, Evelyn ends the marriage publicly at Nathaniel's book launch, rejoins her father's conglomerate, and with ally Charles orchestrates a systematic dismantling of Crowe Railway and Mining.
