Luca is arranged to marry Isabella in order to take over as Don of the Italian mafia. Shes been in love with him since she's been young and he thinks she is much too young for him (~16 year age gap)

After he loses his memory because of an accident, Isabella has to help him relearn who everyone is and pretend that everything is normal, in order to prevent Luca from being removed as Don.
