Found in a freezing trashcan the day of his birth with the umbilical cord still attached. His face crushed and severely burned, he was rushed to the hospital and barely survived. Billy grew up in an orphanage taking the brunt of teasing from the other kids. As an adult he works in a rundown bar in the French Quarter of New Orleans in exchange for a mattress in a storage room and $75 a week. He has an extremely bad attitude and at only 25 he has already given up on life. Born Melissa Elisabeth Tibedeaoux, and ordained to rule over a vast family fortune, she is beautiful, and educated. She was supposed to have everything. Life for her was meant to be a paradise, except she was born blind. At 22, Melissa finds her parents dead and herself married to an abusive, evil man whose only goal is to steal her money. He holds her hostage at home and beats her in an attempt to keep her down, until he can find a way to get the riches. He finally develops a plan, but in the course of transporting Melissa, Billy rescues her. Now Billy must fight against the clock to save Melissa's life, and redeem his own.
