Jo Lee-Haywood is a very protective person for whom her brother and her children mean her whole world. A local mobster known as Mr. Frank puts his eyes on the bar that he owns and tries to force him, thinking that Jo will give up at the first sign of violence, only that he is very badly cheated. Jo turns out to be a person who does not get too easily defeated, being willing to take on a lot of weight to protect his family and the bar he loves so much.
