Luna blir adopterad redan som bebis, efter att en drogberoende kvinna fött henne, ensam, på en bakgata och därefter avlidit. Hon växer upp i hem med en mor som älskar henne men en far som ständigt begår övergrepp på sin hustru. Vid 11-års ålder välts hela Lunas värld omkull när hennes mor dör i en olycka i hemmet. Det är i alla fall vad hennes far kallar det! Övergreppen övergår till Luna istället och så småningom förstår hon att hennes mor, under alla år, gått emellan och tagit slagen avsedda för henne. Slag och våldtäkter blir en del av hennes vardag, men samma dag som hon går ut grundskolan, vid 15 års ålder, så flyr hon från hemmet. Hon rensar sin fars kassaskåp och får mig sig en ansenlig summa pengar och alla hennes mors smycken, som hon alltid undrat över vad de tagit vägen. Hon kommer till Stockholm och lyckas, efter att ha sovit utomhus i flera nätter, få tag på en sunkig lägenhet, där ingen frågar efter hennes namn eller ålder. Hon lyckas också, så småningom få tag i ett, dåligt betalt, städjobb på ett kontor. En dag när hon kommer hem så sitter en grå katt utanför porten. Han ser så hungrig ut att Luna tar med honom upp till lägenheten och ger honom mat. Han kommer att bli hennes bästa vän. När hon är på väg hem, en sen kväll, genar hon genom parken. Hon hinner knappt in i parken förrän hon blir överfallen av en man, som drar in henne i buskarna. Hela hennes uppväxt, med ständiga våldtäkter, spelas upp i hennes huvud och hon vill till en början, bara dö. Men, det visar sig, att mannen har helt andra planer för henne. Han ger henne en chans att börja om sitt liv, på ett helt annat sätt!
