Vera Moreau, the family's only daughter, married a genteel neighborhood doctor three years ago and tried to live as an ordinary wife. When her sister-in-law is poisoned and her husband's leg is broken, she calls her semi-retired parents out of the shadows and destroys the upstart Santoro family in a single night.

In the end, Adrian refuses the Don's throne and returns to his clinic. Vera is expecting a child, and the two families share afternoon tea in the garden. To Port Salem, the Moreaus are gods and nightmares; to Vera, they are home.
