Born in Russia but adopted by a wealthy American family as a baby,

But the streets throw up more than she bargained for and she
discovers a deadly secret to her past that will change Wallis' life

And he is on the hunt for her mother. He will stop at nothing and no

Can Wallis find her mother before her father kills them both?
