Amalia Delaney had a rough childhood. That may be an understatement considering that she was kidnapped by a sadistic serial killer and kept in his basement for years. She learned to latch onto the words people said, so she could forget about the actions. So, when she finally escapes and tells her account to the police, her memory of conversations, like a human transcript, catches the naturals program's attention. Starting off new is hard, but constant reminders of your past through cold cases might just be harder. Amalia has to battle her harsh past, and her growing feelings for resident rich boy, Michael Townsend.
