The ideals of naive young women often fall short of reality. Jane Luck's plan to live in the city as a fearless, free-spirited designer has instead left her homeless and buried under a mountain of student debt in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. What's worse is that she's still struggling to process the loss of a true love alongside guilt over the death of a false flame. All she wants is a safe place to land, but she can find no peace. After she becomes involved with a secretly wealthy classmate, a band of vengeful, Liberian ex-warlords begin to see her as a key to her boyfriend's riches. She's swept up in another globe-trotting rampage in a war-torn land where her ancestors also once attempted to find serenity. This, yet another trial by fire, strips Jane of a few more layers of self-doubt and fear. And just when she thinks her life is truly falling apart, some very important things may be falling into place.
