On the 7th of May 2009, Senior Constables Len Snee, Grant Diver and Bruce Miller arrived at 41 Chaucer Rd in Napier to serve a search warrant on Jan Molenaar for the growing of cannabis. This was just a routine warrant, something they had done countless times. What was meant to be an ordinary procedure turned into three of New Zealand’s darkest days and ended with one police officer dead, two officers critically injured and a member of the public fighting for his life. In some fifty hours Jan Molenaar made a permanent and devastating imprint upon the national psyche of New Zealand as he changed the lives of individuals, families, a police community, and a city. The siege was one of the worst and unexpected cases of violence both Napier and New Zealand had witnessed and it was all the more shocking because of its ordinary suburban backdrop.

Lily es tímida, poquita cosa, dulce y rara. Este último es el calificativo que más abunda sobre ella, la causa de que a sus espaldas todos la señalen a carcajadas. Aún así, para Lily eso no es motivo de amargura, al contrario: es feliz sabiéndose distinta. Trabaja como cajera en un restaurante de comida rápida, y ya ni escucha las burlas de sus propios compañeros. Está demasiado pendiente de una hora concreta al mediodía, porque ése es el momento en que aparece para comer Jarrod, alguien como ella, otro inadaptado. Jarrod trabaja en una tienda de videojuegos, se considera un genio y sale de una depresión para meterse en otra. Jarrod prepara una fiesta de disfraces donde cada invitado se vestirá como su animal favorito. El suyo es un águila, el de Lily un tiburón.
