A talented young pianist named Rain is attacked by a vicious street gang which kills her sister. The gang sets out to find Rain while she hides in the care of a woman who is her natural grandmother.

Her adoptive mother sends her back because she is in danger for having witnessed her adoptive sister’s murder.
