Captured in Canada and extradited to Chicago, Rolly reaches out to Mirai and urges her to take his case. Initially, Mirai is hesitant to defend a man she doesn't know. However, Mirai's passion for justice and curiosity about her father take over, and she commits herself wholeheartedly to Rolly's defense, despite warnings from Paul, her boyfriend, and her mother, Fredi. Mirai's attempt to win Rolly's freedom uncovers painful and dangerous secrets from her parents' past through which she learns the true meaning of family and love. Written by KN See less
