"Hvad vil du være, når du bliver stor?" "Præsident for De forenede Stater!" Således svarer den 11-årige Florentyna sin far, en rig, polskfødt ejer af en stor hotelkæde. Men hun er kvinde, af polsk afstamning og katolik - i USA tre væsentlige hindringer for at kunne nå det høje fremtidsmål. Ambitionerne har hun - en andenplads er ikke for hende. I første omgang er Florentyna dog målbevist i sin private karriere: overtagelsen af faderens store, internationale hotelimperium; men inden hun når så vidt, møder hun manden i sit liv og kastes af samme grund ud i en nådesløs familiefejde. Intet kan få Florentyna til at opgive Richard, og de to skaber sig hver især en strålende karriere og oplever sammen et lykkeligt familieliv. Først i en moden alder går Florentyna for alvor ind i politik. En verden af korruption, uærlighed og hårdhed åbner sig for hende, men nu kan intet standse Florentyna. Hun er på vej mod toppen: præsidentembedet i De forenede Stater. Trods hård kamp og ofte uretfærdig modstand giver hun ikke op. -
