Twenty-year-old Hannah tries to make herself invisible and unseen to the world but is constantly drawn into drama and the limelight by her younger sister, Kaylie. Hannah is in nursing school and plans to take Kaylie away from their criminal family and the town of Rockaway when Kaylie turns 18.

Hannah goes to a bar and finds Kaylie dancing on a pool table as three young men from out of town play pool. She tries to convince Kaylie to leave, but Kaylie is having too much fun. She asks Hannah to dance with her, but Hannah refuses. One of the men, with dark hair and green eyes (later identified as Toby), notices Hannah and asks if he’ll see her around and “set the world on fire” together (6). Hannah doesn’t respond but knows she doesn’t want to see him again. On the way home, Kaylie admits that she stole Toby’s wallet, but Hannah doesn’t want to know what she found out from it. She leaves her sister near their family home, not wanting to be seen by her other relatives.
