The iron gates grind shut with a final, metallic shriek, trapping a fourteen-year-old girl inside a concrete maze of predators. Cast aside by her parents and sold out by a lover who fed her poison, she stands now in shackles, the fluorescent lights buzzing like angry wasps overhead. A guard hauls her deeper into the detention center’s grim corridors, past cells stacked with hardened, watchful faces. Her innocence hangs on by a thread in this brutal, unforgiving cage.
