After her parents died, a five-year-old Cadence Garnett was taken into her uncle's care, which is probably one of the worst ideas in human existence.

She firmly believes nothing is good anymore.

When Daniel saves Cadence from a near-death experience, will Cadence open up to him?
Or will they go their separate ways?
