Ethan spends seven grueling years juggling software code and late-night food deliveries, convinced he is helping his modest accountant wife clear crushing family debts. Everything shatters the afternoon he cashes a multi-million-dollar tech patent, rushing home only to catch his spouse in bed with her wealthy former flame. Even worse, the woman who pleaded poverty turns out to be the ruthless chief executive of a massive corporate empire, using his sweat to fund her secret luxury.
Refusing to be discarded as a gullible doormat, Ethan files for immediate separation and demands back every cent stolen from his marriage. When the arrogant lovers attempt to bury his career and strip him of his patent earnings, Ethan shocks high society by stepping into the boardroom as the newly appointed leader of the nation's premier conglomerate. To survive the coming boardroom war, he must outmaneuver the deceitful woman who once slept beside him.
