Ever since her boyfriend's death, Loraine has developed a new set of hobbies - smoking, car racing, playing pool, boozing 'til dawn, and some other things a daughter of a powerful politician and business tycoon is not expected to have been doing. On top of all those things, gun has become her game.
Donna and Adriel are the only ones she can count on, as everyone around her seems to vanish after the tragic accident that causes Loraine to change her life's perspective.The jolly girl that was known by many is no more. However, the introduction of Samuel in her miserable life spices things up. Not because of his looks, but because of his ignorance and quite quirky attitude. At first he is Loraine's play thing, but as he shows more concern for her than everybody else, she starts viewing him in a different way.
Her life is still far from perfect, and she knows it will never be, with the absence of her mother and the way her father treats her. But those are the least of her worries, because Loraine is still being haunted by her past. Not only the tragedy, but the people who have killed Ace as well. They are all after her, they want her dead. And she does not know why, which leads her to seek for explanations. But her father refuses to answer, for he knows he will have to dig the family's own secret, including his wife's murderous death, which has long been buried with her corpse.
She thought her life couldn't get any worse. A mistake, for there's more of Loraine Connell. There's more of her already twisted life.
