The story follows 17-year-old Tracy Smirnov, a traumatized and highly skilled teen surviving in southern Arizona after losing her mother in a violent crash and being abandoned by her father. Guided by "Poppy," a voice in her head she believes is a guardian but is really a coping mechanism born from trauma, Tracy navigates a world of crime, violence, and manipulation. She defeats a hitman sent to kill her, draws attention from a Cuban crime boss, and works closely with Jimmy, a young restaurant owner who secretly runs a cartel and acts as her protector and mentor. While Jimmy offers her a chance at stability through education and a high-paying legitimate job, criminal forces continue circling her, tensions rise with Jimmy's girlfriend, and unresolved family ties resurface-leaving Tracy caught between survival, loyalty, and the possibility of a different future.
