La La Fine relates to animals better than she does to other people. She is abandoned by a mother who never wanted a family, and raised by a locksmith-turned-thief father. She becomes her father's accomplice, calming the watchdog while he steals from the families. When her father's luck runs out and he is arrested for burglary, everything La La has painstakingly built unravels. In her fourth year of veterinary school, she is forced to drop out, leaving school to pay for her father's legal fees the only way she knows how -- robbing homes once again.
