Two was a number that Brooklyn-born Indie Scott was more than familiar with. She had long embraced the idea of duality in all facets of her life: pain and joy, salt and sugar, yin and yang. What would the world be without pairings? This question never had to cross the twenty-one-year-olds mind. That is until the eve of her twenty-second birthday, when a life-altering incident takes place, ultimately expelling Indie to become accustomed to the lone number that is one.

"Listen here, you bitch you will abort that child, and if you don't, I'll personally kill you both myself. I'm a man of my word. Do not test me." He spat dead calm.
