Plot

Jane, an unassuming woman with a kind heart, struggles to maintain steady employment due to her talent for causing chaos. Her friend Ricky, romantically interested in her, supports her job search even as she remains oblivious to his feelings. Eventually, Jane becomes a governess—not for a child, but for an elderly, wealthy man who clings to his wild past. Meanwhile, his son, ruthless and driven, aims to civilize his father while consolidating his power through cutthroat business deals, leaving countless people homeless in his pursuit of dominance.
