Stockholm Syndrome

Seeing the world's greatest detective die in such an anti-climatic way could displease some of the cruelest gods and goddesses. So it should come as no surprise that Emma, a seemingly ordinary woman on the outside, decides to take matters into her own hands and save L from his cruel fate. But he wakes up in Los Angeles, after a very bumpy ride, and unable to return to the Kira investigation or life as he knew it. To top it off, Emma has a purpose of her own to fulfill, for which she needs the detective's help... whether he wants to offer it or not.

On the outside - a tale of two weird kids that seem to finally to get a shot at a normal life. At its core, however - a study of what makes a human humane, and what it takes to piece oneself together after being pulled apart by people, circumstance and a lot of bad luck.
