What is My Name about?

After her father is gunned down outside their apartment, a teenager hands her life over to the crime boss who was his closest friend and asks to be made into a weapon. Years of punishing training later she takes a manufactured identity into a narcotics unit, hunting the killer from inside the force while the two worlds she now belongs to grind against each other and the truth she is chasing keeps changing shape.
