During the time that Graham Dorsey spends with Amanda, the two develop a strong connection and engage in romantic endeavors. However, before they can fully explore their relationship, Dorsey must leave to join his gang for a bank heist. The robbery goes awry, and all of Dorsey's fellow criminals are killed.
Assuming that Dorsey was also killed, Amanda grieves his loss and decides to write a book about their brief but intense romance. The book becomes a bestseller, turning Dorsey into a legendary figure in the eyes of the public.
