"The name's Lomar. Philippina Lomar. I'm thirteen and a half I'm already doing what I wanna do when I grow up: I'm a private eye! There are detectives and defectives. I'm the former."
While out fishing with her pal Gégé, Philippina runs smack into Rosa, a young girl who's run away from home. All because her mom's fallen into the clutches of Marc, whose charming demeanor conceals a penchant for violence. Nice timing, 'cause Philippina's been rarin' for a fight.
