When Renee Gilmore's mother died, she used some of the money she had left her and moved to California, hoping to get her dream job; acting. But it didn't happen that way. After being in California for a while, she ran out of money. She got in touch with an old friend and sold weed in exchange. Unfortunately, she met a man named Cyrus. The most powerful pusher in the South. She soon became his slave. In her second escape attempt she was hit by a car. The driver "saved" her from Cyrus and basically turned her into his slave. The driver, Lamont, brainwashed her into thinking he was the most amazing man ever. She considered him her angel. When one day Lamont did not return home and armed men arrived in his place, he ran away once again. Packing hundreds of thousands of dollars, he ran and checked into a hotel. She intended to eliminate the man who killed her "husband". Jonathan Bourque._____________________________________________________________________________________________________Danny Hansen grew up in a small town in northern Bosnia and was fifteen when the civil war between Croats and Serbs began. After Danny Hansen's family was killed, he found and killed the men who did it. He soon joined the military afterwards. After his military service, he came to America and became a Catholic priest and killed other bad people._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Danny and Renee's paths crossed as they both were after Jonathan Bourque.Renee because she thinks he killed Lamont and Danny because Jonathan was a bad man who needed to be executed.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________Danny saved Renee from Jonathan when she confronted the man about "knowing" information about him. Jonathan's employee threatened her that she would be dead long before that information came out. Jonathan arrives and tells the workers to arrest her and calls the police claiming that she is a drug addict and is making horrendous accusations against him and his company. That's when Danny intervened. He, of course, is a priest and tried to convince them not to arrest her. When Jonathan left, Danny asked the worker to bring him a glass of water, offering to keep an eye on Renee if he was hesitant. When he (the worker) left, Danny let her go and told her to leave quickly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________After that incident, Renee tracked down Danny and went to his house asking for help in killing Jonathan. They both felt an incredibly strong bond with each other due to their very different yet similar pasts.
