No one likes to be alone, but sometimes we have little choice in the matter. Through adventure or through tragedy, we find out who we are and what we are capable of. But sometimes, it is also okay to be broken. Nerissa, homeless and alone, is trying to understand why the odds have been stacked up against her. All she wants to do is get away from the place where she grew up. However, nearly as soon as she leaves, she is captured by pirates. As she slaves away on Captain Argo's ship, she finds out a lot about herself, but more importantly, she discovers how her captors have impacted her past.
