The document is the beginning of a story where the narrator, Yana Lane, is being held prisoner at 20 years old. She has been allowed to bring only her journal to write her story in, believing her story must be shared before it's too late. She wonders where to start her story, whether from her birth when she feels this fate was decided, or four years ago when her life truly changed, on the day she moved to a new home and town, which will be explored further in the upcoming first chapter.
