Même avoir une famille qu'avec un seul parent serait aussi bien pour elle. Étant orpheline dès le bas âge elle sera élevée par sa tante qui n'est réellement pas une famille pour elle. Elles le savent toutes les deux mais sachant qu'elle ne peut rien changer elle subit simplement.

Et comme la vie n'est jamais smoothe pour personne, elle aura des choix à faire. Elle tombe dans des histoires louches qui la conduisent sur un chemin inconnu. Elle trouvera une âme qui la fera sortir peu à peu du lot mais pour combien de temps ? Serait-il bon pour elle ? Seule la fin nous le dira.
