Set in the early 21st century, this story follows Arya Slate, a girl trapped in her own sex, disappointing her family's expectations with dreams of being a strong, fierce Slate like her brother Rob, instead of a princess like her sister Susan. Now, Arya is 17 and almost ready to leave high school, when she finds out her parents have been murdered in a crude business deal, while her siblings have been kidnapped, if not killed already. Arya must find a way to hide her identity as she runs from upscale New York City, to the Lower West side, going by the name Aaron. There, she meets Drew (Gendry). Very attractive Drew, who lends her a hand in hiding who she is. Drew teaches her to fight, which makes her realize just how fierce and strong she is. But can she use these skills to avenge her family? Or will she settle into this new identity?
