Amanda grew up with parents who were wealthy lawyers known for defending unsavory clients, which led to her being ostracized by her community. Her parents were also obsessed with collecting rare action figures, keeping them in a secret room.
Amanda found solace in drawing and eventually won an art competition. She befriended a girl named Sofi, who turned out to be the daughter of a man her parents had wrongfully imprisoned.
As Amanda's art career took off, she wrote a comic based on her childhood, which her parents tried to stop from being published. Meanwhile, Sofi's true intentions were revealed: she had befriended Amanda to exact revenge on her parents.
The police eventually searched Amanda's parents' house, destroying their action figure collection. Amanda discovered that her parents had indeed wronged Sofi's family and was torn between her love for her parents and her anger towards their actions.
Amanda eventually cut ties with her parents and Sofi, but a year later, she reunited with Sofi, who had moved to a new city with her father after he was exonerated. Sofi apologized for her past behavior, and the two friends reconnected over coffee.
