Jyn Erso watches her mother die and her father disappear into Imperial service when she turns eight. Saw Gerrera rescues her from this devastation and raises her as his own child. Under his guidance, she learns the skills of a rebel fighter and commits herself to resisting the Empire. Saw provides her with weapons training, tactical knowledge, and a new family among his soldiers. Jyn throws herself into their dangerous missions, believing completely in Saw's methods and leadership. She fights beside his troops through increasingly violent operations against Imperial forces. But when someone she trusts completely betrays her, Jyn's certainty crumbles. She must rebuild her identity from nothing and decide what principles actually matter to her. The girl who once followed Saw without question now faces impossible choices about loyalty, violence, and survival.
