Kaely Monsford was a quiet girl, out of school and working a job at a cafe in Australia. Being an orphan, life was bound to be hard, but she made it work. She kept surviving.

Until one afternoon, when four seemingly regular guys pranced into her life like they were sent right to her. They were quiet, nervous and extremely suspicious. Of course, Kaely didn't think anything of it until she got ambushed on her way home from work that same night.
