Rose O'Bannon learns she is more like her mother than she had realized when her cousin is kidnapped.
Rose Michelle O’Bannon was the daughter of Vivian Clancy O’Bannon and Michael O’Bannon. Although her father died when she was an infant, she grew up hearing stories of his bravery and courage. She was proud to be his daughter. Her mother was one of the most successful businesswomen in New York; building an antique business that was patronized by New York‘s most prominent citizens. One thing most people were not aware of regarding her parents was the fact they were both, in their early lives, hired killers. Rose herself did not learn this fact until she sat by her mother’s bedside while she lay dying. Another fact that Rose learned was that Michael was not her biological father. Rose was the product of a violent rape and beating. The day of her mother’s funeral was the first and only time Rose had the opportunity to meet her biological father, Tommy Flannery. After the funeral Rose speaks with Tommy who spins his relationship with her mother into anything but the truth. Rose takes matters into her own hands when she murders Tommy, just a few feet from her mother's grave.
