****
Angel Lamere is released from juvenile hall on her 18th birthday with a singular focus: murder the man who killed her mother. That man is her father. Over the course of one day, she will encounter people from her past who unexpectedly awaken her deepest internal battles. These encounters, sometimes harsh, sometimes sublime, will both pull her away and push her towards her father’s execution. What was once a revenge fantasy has now become real in this odyssey where beauty and violence exist side by side.
