    Summary

    Brooklyn-born Jane Shepard grew up in a home for orphaned daughters. Restless and full of potential, she is ready to tackle the world. When she meets a gang working to improve the lives of the forgotten and downtrodden, they offer Shepard a life full of purpose - and an escape from the heavy burdens and expectations placed upon her. Jane will learn one can never truly run away and what it truly takes to be the hero she wants to be. Kaidan Alenko, separated from his loving family, pushes his body and mind to their limits in a station on the edge of the Sol system. Finding solace in the oppressive "Brain Camp" with his peers, he learns what happens when you always put on a brave face and suppress your emotions to a boiling point and it all comes spilling out. After years of working through their traumas, they finally reach the heights they have always dreamed about. Closing themselves off to focus on their goals, they both set their life on a certain path. But as they first lay their eyes onto each other aboard the SSV Normandy - they question what they thought life had to offer them while chasing down a Galaxy-wide threat. Part 1 of a planned 5-part series that explores the relationship between Shepard and Kaidan.
