Ella Bennett and her older brother Evan are twins. Their father was a doctor and their mother a nurse. They used to be an ordinary, happy family of four. Everything changed when Ella turned sixteen. Her father was inadvertently drawn into an internal power struggle within the Black Hawks, the city’s most powerful gang. A doctor friend of his, who worked as the gang’s personal physician, planned to defect. He leaked the Black Hawks’ core secrets to her father and was killed on the spot immediately afterward. Her father was then abducted by the gang and vanished without a trace. Her mother was shot dead by gang members while out searching for her husband. On that day, Ella and Evan came home to find their parents gone forever, with no explanation left behind. The two sixteen-year-olds were forced to face the brutal truth: they were orphans.
