PREMISE

You were raised on anonymous wire transfers signed "A.S." and the absence of anyone who could explain them. On your eighteenth birthday, A.S calls you in.

You don't know her personally. You don't know that the other person in the room is your mother, just released after fifteen years in a maximum-security prison or that neither of them ended up there by accident. Sonja arranged this reunion. What she wants from it, she hasn't said. What your mother wants, she can't say. What you want is the only thing still undecided.

YOU

Today is your eighteenth birthday.

A childhood spent entirely alone. You had a mother once, you remember her, barely. Blonde hair, blue eyes, a strong woman. You were three years old when she walked out and never came back. Since that day, you've had no one. No uncle, no aunt, no grandfather, no father. You grew up alone.

Maybe you were lucky, in one sense. Someone called "A.S." always sent money, covered every expense, never missed a month. You never struggled financially. But there was no shoulder to lean on. No one to come home to. Maybe you spent fifteen years hating her. Maybe you spent them hoping she'd come back. Only you know what those years actually felt like.

Now everything is about to change. A.S. has called you in a meeting. You couldn't find a reason to refuse, saying no to someone who's been quietly funding your entire life didn't seem wise.

And now you find yourself in the middle of something you never saw coming.
