Jenna is a 27 year old girl who lives in her apartment with her 28 year old brother, Tristan. It is September 21, 2003, not too long after one of the most infamous events in American history, 9/11, so there is lots of tension and conflict between Americans and Muslims. When Jenna goes out to work, she stumbles upon her brother, just barely hanging on. She figures out that he was beaten up and left for dead because of his former wife, Mahala Malek. An adventure awaits them along with further conflicts with the assailant, including a detective with an unknown trauma, a neon green painted door, painful and traumatic flashbacks from Tristan, and about 15 broken bones. Will Jenna and Tristan find the assaulter or will the criminal go unfound and abuse Tristan and his family even more?
