Alice's father, a tavern owner and undercover cop, is killed by a gang. They hunt Alice too—until Uncle Hector appears and saves her. He tells her about her father's secret life, then sends her to an orphanage, promising to return in two years. He keeps his word, with a new knife scar, and takes her home. Years later, as a police officer, Alice discovers the man who killed her father was Hector—the man she once dreamed of marrying.
