Alice's 16th birthday turned into a nightmare. Her beloved father, who ran a quiet little tavern, was murdered, which drags her into the crosshairs of the mafia. Just as the killers closed in, her father’s old friend, Uncle Hector, appeared like a storm and saved her. He revealed the truth: her father had been an undercover cop inside the mafia. But instead of taking her in, Hector sent her to an orphanage, promising to return in a year.
