Chapter 1: The Pickpocket.
An FBI agent, wounded and weary, stumbles upon a young pickpocket and his two-year-old son, living in unimaginable squalor. What begins as an arrest quickly spirals into an unexpected invitation, challenging the agent's sense of duty and awakening a dormant longing for family. Can a hardened law enforcer provide a true home for a family on the run from life's harsh realities, or will the weight of their past—and his own—crush this fragile new beginning?
