Devout Christian girl Zorah is sold by her gambling priest father to mafia king Mateo, forced into marriage in a church with a thirty-day pact—if she doesn't fall for him, he lets her go; if she does, he takes her virginity—and after surviving humiliation, kidnapping, a bomb plot, and a fake escape, she rejects him in a black wedding dress, only for Mateo to save her from an exploding plane and propose again.
