Jilani Corsetti is a seventeen-year-old trying to live as freely as she can. Having an unfortunate upbringing full of pain, fear, and hate, she wishes to move forward and actually enjoy life. With her trustworthy friend, Joseph, and his uncles, Jilani addresses life in the best way she can and what freedom means to her. When her legal guardians, her "mother" and "step-father", are found dead of an overdose, Jilani is called back "home" to fix her into a "suitable" home. In light of such events, she discovers the father and brothers she shares blood with. Jilani considers herself a simple woman, but such a trend is bound to break at some point. ***
