Exodus

Lounging by the pool at her father’s luxurious but empty home, Cecelia is confronted by The Frenchman: the mysterious leader of The Ravenhood, the vigilante group to which her two erstwhile lovers, Sean and Dominic, belong. Seething with hostility, The Frenchman reveals that he knows Sean and Dominic hid Cecelia’s presence in Triple Falls from him. (Cecelia is the daughter of Roman Horner, the corporate criminal that The Ravenhood has sworn to punish, and her polyamorous romance complicated The Ravenhood’s aims.) Now, Cecelia and The Frenchman argue about her loyalties and her role in the organization. Finally, she throws a lotion bottle at him in frustration.

He catches the bottle, threatens her, and informs her that she is now cut off from the organization and its operations. Cecelia professes her unwavering loyalty to Sean and Dominic. The Frenchman returns her bikini top, which he had taken earlier, and says that he will consider her plea. He then leaves her alone in a state of anguished uncertainty.

Weeks later, during a local festival, Cecelia struggles with the isolation imposed on her by The Frenchman. She has been ostracized by The Ravenhood and deeply misses Sean and Dominic. At the festival, she encounters RB and Terrance, two members of the group.
