Protecting her child from any violent act is now her only goal.

Killian Whatford is a young journalist searching for the next polemic to write about. All of his previous articles were a success and now his boss wants the next one as soon as possible.
Under the pressure, Killian finds himself spending way too much time with his five year old niece. 
The amount of money spent on hot chocolates at the park in the middle of winter begins to be critical when Killian finds the perfect subject. Thanks to his niece, the money his boss is prepared in exchange of his article doesn't seem so far away anymore.

The question to ask yourself is not what happened to Katie but rather, when did it happen ? 
You shouldn't quite think about what Killian will write in his article, but, about when will he write ?
