At the age of 12, Sakari watched her mother commit suicide after being tormented by a drug Lord named Mariel Sancen. Sakari, her sister, and brother were taken captive by Mariel in order to payoff their mother's debt.

Sakari quickly learned the business and makes a name for herself by killing Mariel. She moves from Chicago to Dallas reining mayhem on the south, earning her the name Godmother. She runs into a hiccup when it's believed she killed someone who the family declared off limits.

The family sends Sakari a message to retire or die. Before she can respond; she is attacked and left for dead. She is befriended by a nun after realizing she's lost her sight. The nun takes her into her home. Sakari is at the mercy of the people that she persecuted for years. Through the nuns teaching, she is converted and vows to live a violence free life. Until an unexpected force draws her back in with violence and rage that know no bounds.
