1996 in Harlem, Gina Garcia was the only child of an African-American


mother and a Latino father. His childhood, like any average Harlem girl, was poor
and difficult. They were staying in a dilapidated building. She couldn't see her
father for months, didn't know what she was doing. Although her mother took care of
her as much as she could, she too became exhausted at one point and became really
sick for days. One day, when Gina just turned 10, her mother didn't wake her up in
the morning, she couldn't wake her up. Thinking that she was sick again, Gina could
do nothing for days, and finally realized that her mother had died in her sleep
thanks to the people in the neighborhood who came to the bad smell. She was never
upset. On the contrary, her mother was happy to be freed from this painful life.
Already angry with her father, Gina was even more angry this time for leaving her
and her mother alone to die, leaving her alone. She realized that it was time to go
out and she was no longer a child.

One autumn evening in 2008, when Gina was 12, she had learned what the street
and street life were all about. She had escaped from child rapists many times, she
had witnessed many murders. She was a frequent drug carrier to the uncles who were
protecting her. One day, when Gina was 16, an uncle of her Paul, who guided her and
said that she was an acquaintance of her father, came to her with an offer. He was
going to take her to Mexico, to his father. His father, whom he had not seen since
his mother's death, had made a new life for him there. Accepting this offer as she
heard it, Gina was nervous about going this far from where she lived for the first
time, but excited that she would come face to face with her father and vent the
anger she had accumulated over the years. Paul made his preparations with his
uncle, said goodbye to all his acquaintances and set off. When they got to the
Mexican border, Gina knew from the first moment how difficult her next life would
be. She was used to having a gun to her head. But it was frightening for her that
she did not understand what was being said. All the scary guys stopped and looked
at each other when she introduced herself with her broken Spanish she had learned
from her father as a child. Then they went somewhere. 20 minutes later, he was
right there in front of her. Her father, whom she had hated for years, was right in
front of her. She ran to hug her father, but met with a cold hug and she
understood, now that Gina was all grown up and different. His father was also a
great man. He was the famous cartel leader, recognized by all the cartels all over
Mexico. That was the only reason he sacrificed his family. Money. Uncle Paul had
fulfilled his last mission. His father's men had taken Paul's life with one shot.
Although she cannot understand what happened with the shock of the incident, she
later learns that Paul actually betrayed his father, that his father gave him one
last honor. Left alone, Gina has no choice but to trust her father and live under
his roof after that time.

However, this decision does not take long. After 2 years of wealth and
luxury in Mexico, Gina tasted drugs for the first time when she turned 18. This
experience, which was given to her by her father as a birthday present, is actually
the beginning of her father's end. Although she enjoys using drugs for a while, the
side effects started to hit Gina. It started with bad dreams first. Insomnia
following bad dreams, lack of appetite following insomnia, depression following
lack of appetite. And the sad ending. Surrendering herself to the dark arms of
depression, Gina remembers how her mother was left to die and how she had to become
an adult at a young age. And, of course, her anger towards her father. Her friend
Estefania, whom she met there, told her about Los Santos. She will make a new life
for herself and will never return here. This puts an idea in Gina's mind. One day,
while she was having dinner alone with her father, she pointed the gun where she
kept under the table at her father and pulled the trigger without a moment's
hesitation. Her father, whose last words were "my daughter", comes to the end of
his disgusting life there. At the end of this plan, which she had prepared in
advance, Gina, who took her belongings and went to Los Santos on the first plane,
thus started her new life.
