At the tender age of eight, Jyn Erso experiences a profound tragedy: her mother's life is brutally ended, and her father is forcibly taken to serve the Empire. Despite the immense loss of both her parents, Jyn finds herself not entirely abandoned. Saw Gerrera, a figure prepared to employ any means necessary to oppose the Empire's oppressive rule, adopts her, offering her both a place to belong and the skills and support required to become a rebel.
Jyn wholeheartedly commits to the cause and to Saw himself. However, aligning herself with Saw and his followers exposes her to considerable peril and raises the critical question of how far she is prepared to go as a soldier under Saw's command. When confronted with a devastating betrayal that shatters her reality, Jyn must gather the fragments of her being and determine her true convictions and who she can truly place her trust in.
