There was always something different about Sun Song Shia, but like most little girls she just wanted to be loved. Strangely, it wasn't until the Chinese government stuck her in a research facility that she found the love and acceptance she craved. Song Shia returned to her parents only to be met with wariness and even fear. She craved her Baba's love most of all, but that love came at a terrible price.

Song fled to Chicago, a Safe Zone for her kind, and there she fell in love with a museum curator named Alex. She warned Alex from the beginning that he should run like hell, but he didn't listen. Then all hell broke loose.
