My Mom Became a Beauty Queen After Prison

Aura serves six months for a hit-and-run she didn't commit. Her husband Richard and his brother's widow Allison set her up. Her daughter Sophie and son Luke convince her to take the fall, promising visits and a quick settlement. Those promises dissolve the moment she's locked away. No one comes. No one pays. Inside, inmates paid by Allison try to break her and admit they've been hired to kill her.

She walks out with nothing left for that family. The day of her release, she tells Richard she came back only to divorce him. He deflects, and the children defend him. Aura leaves.

Her brother Dermot finds her. He's bought back their family estate and tells her to enter the global fashion design championship. She was once the best student at a top design school and gave up that career for Richard. Now she makes the finals.

The past doesn't stay behind. At a restaurant, Sophie and Luke confront Aura about Dermot. Sophie slaps Aura, and Luke hits Dermot. Aura tells them Dermot is her brother, but they refuse to believe it. Aura then arranges for the children to catch Richard and Allison together. They see it. They still side with him, calling Aura a leech and a cheat because she had dinner with Dermot. Aura ends up in a hospital bed. Ethan shows up to lecture her about appearances, then admits he forgot her birthday. She hands him divorce papers and tells him to have Richard sign.
