Emma Carmichael is a young girl who has Down Syndrome, but the disability does not define her. Her twin brother David, a typical peer, is Emma’s biggest cheerleader and protector against those who wish her harm. Their mom, Julia, is the epitome of a momma bear defending her cubs. Having failed previously to protect her kids during their long captivity, Julia yearns for her children to vanish into the ethos to live life free of constant fear with a chance to grow up and become old.
Sins of the Father begins with the Carmichael twins on the run after being liberated by their father, Ryan, after three torturous years locked away subjected to inhumane experimentation. The family is hunted by The Order, a shadow organization responsible for the world’s descent into a post-apocalyptic wasteland who will stop at nothing to find the twins to secure what they possess. Having barely escaped the clutches of The Order, where Ryan sacrificed himself to save Julia, Emma, and David, the Carmichael’s precariously evade detection as they search for sanctuary. Emma and David are central to The Order’s plan for the rebirth of society, the depths of why they require the children clouded in a tangled web of facts and lies.
The Carmichael family seeks refuge in the isolated Olympic National Forest near Seattle, Washington. Their longshot wish? To find safe haven and support from Ryan’s old friend, Honcho Gutierrez. Ever resourceful, he may possess critical answers as to why the planet descended into chaos. Having survived the end of the world, Honcho digs deep into the black abyss. His intel uncovers a darker and more sinister game being played, that, decades in the making, reveals all is not what it seems.
The truth is far more devastating than anyone can imagine.
