Sephie is just a waitress trying to survive her late shifts, joking with her charming bartender friend Max and finding comfort in her kind neighbors.

What happened when you asked him about who was pulling the strings?” “Ricardo,” I said. “He wasn’t looking at me until I said Ricardo’s name, then he looked at me. I could tell he was livid that I had said Ricardo’s name, but…
“She’s fine, Trino. She’s going to need to stay in the hospital a few days though. Armando beat the shit out of her before we could get to her,” I said. “I hope he’s already dead.” “He wishes he was, I can tell you that. He’s still alive though. I plan on drawing it out…
