When her mother dies suddenly, Mira Beketov decides that it's finally time to runaway from her brutally abusive step-father. She defies her crippling phobia of moving vehicles to fly from New York to Colorado, to show up unannounced on the porch of her biological father, Arthur River.
Mira never knew that leaving behind her life of crime, gangs and abuse in New York would ever result in what she found waiting for her in the place that was supposed to be her safe haven. Upon arriving, she discovers that she has a twin brother, Niko, who nobody had ever decided would be a good idea to tell her about. Along with the discovery of her brother, she finds a new family, a few angry Italian mobsters, a father who despises her, a couple of bloodthirsty psychopaths, a kid who will do anything to protect her, and a mess of lies, gangs, money, murder, a secret to which only Mira holds the key, and much more.
The pressing question Mira and Niko find themselves asking each other is: Who is telling the truth and who is trying to fucking murder us?
Who is trying to help? Who is going to get them killed? Is there even a fucking difference?
