Held in captivity for months, the girls are finally set free when a neighbor exposes them. But what should have been a happy moment for Kiki actually sends her on a life path that quickly spirals out of control.From the abuse she receives from her captor, to the violent rape by a loved one, to being part of a heinous drug trafficking scheme, Kiki risks her life time and time again in the pursuit of a normal life off the streets.
