Alone, with no way to care for her family, Connie became an exotic dancer with a flourishing career until the blackouts that had haunted her youth became more severe, the worst of all landing her in the hospital. Her physicians failed to make a diagnosis of a heart condition that only a few weeks later killed Connie and orphaned her girls. Enter Dr. Philip Sarkis who, after reviewing the case for the hospital and informing them of their predicament, convinced his paramour, Dorothy Deaver, to adopt the girls and begin an idyllic family life together. Until Sonny Cardinelli returned, attracted by the generous malpractice settlement. But before he could claim his prize, Sonny died. Accident or homicide?
