Synopsis

Sadie, an alligator tamer from the Florida swamps, is hired by aging mafia don Vincent for fifty million a year to marry the cold Luca and be stepmother to his three hellion sons. The rebellious boys taunt her, but Sadie puts them in their place with her fists. Beneath her toughness, she sees their pain: she defends Rocco, wakes Leo up to the gold-digger, and heals the eldest’s trauma. Luca goes from a cold observer to her supporter, and the boys slowly accept her. With firmness and warmth, the hired tamer becomes the true matriarch of the Moretti family.
