   Summary

   Michael Afton's life has been nothing but misery and misfortune for years now, but a single chance encounter and reunion of two brothers might just be what he needs to get his life back on track. Either that or it'll be the thing that kills the young man, either way, he needs something to finally atone for his actions, and what better way was there than this?

   He just didn't expect everything that followed it, or the rabbit hole that would open up before him about the hidden past of his own family.
