On crime drama series The Killing, Bullet was a homeless but street wise teen with a desire to protect the girls who sold sex on the street. She was kicked out by her parents when they learned about her sexuality, and she had been beaten and raped by a pimp, Goldie.

When her friend Kallie went missing, and other young women were feared missing or murdered, Bullet was relentless in trying to find out any information about her and even started working with the police.
