When a fifteen-year-old girl flees her home in Mexico for New York City, steals a million dollars from her parents, changes her name to Violetta, starts speaking English, dyes her hair blonde, and learns to take off her clothes for money, she survives through manipulation. However, she soon meets her match with the nefarious Nefastofeles, and her life takes a sharp turn for the worst. With the help of her "Guardian Devil" named Pig, Violetta just might learn a thing or two about really living.
