In a world of inequality and hidden secrets, Mira, a twelve-year-old girl from a middle-class family, experiences a life-altering event that shatters her innocence.
Mira's family struggles financially, with her mother toiling to make ends meet and her father only adding to the family's woes. Despite attending Catholic services and hearing the words of Christ about the power of one's will, Mira finds herself longing for someone to take away her will as she faces the harsh realities of life.
When her mother befriends the upper-class Lisa, Mira's life takes a dark turn. Staying at Lisa's house, she is asked to sleep in a room with her brothers and Ken, Lisa's husband's nephew. Initially skeptical due to her dislike of change, Mira's worst fears come true when Ken attempts to do bad things to her. Waking up to shouting and screaming, she discovers Ken being questioned by Lisa, who holds a belt, while Anita, Ken's sister, begs on his behalf.
Mira reveals that Ken tried to rape her, but Ken claims it's not what Lisa thinks. The situation becomes even more complex when Bella, Lisa's young daughter, tells Mira that Ken used to touch her too. Determined to expose Ken, Mira approaches Lisa, only to be met with what seems like disbelief and disgust.
Forced to sit at the dining table with Ken, Mira tries to hold her composure. David's innocent question about the morning's events adds to the tension, but Mira deflects it. The breakfast is eaten in silence, and Mira spends the day avoiding everyone, consumed by her pain and the vow to one day make those who wronged her pay.
That night, she holds onto Bella tightly, locking the room door to ensure her safety. But the damage to her heart is irreversible, and Mira knows she will never be the same.

Follow Mira's journey as she navigates the aftermath of this traumatic event, facing the indifference of the rich and the struggle to come to terms with her shattered world.
