Blackwood is a century-old family group spanning North America. When the illegitimate daughter Ivy was 28 years old, she was kicked out in public by her stepmother Victoria on the day of her father's burial. The self-tattooed circle of thorns on her left wrist is the only surname that has not been erased. She didn’t want what was in that door—she was going to tear that door down. This is a story about blood, inheritance, and how a woman uses her name to leverage the entire system.
