DECEITS OF THE PAST
James Wilson, a solitary man, is haunted by visions of his estranged son - lost to him for over a decade after a brutal custody battle. One bitter winter night, a ghostly figure steps from the shadows: his son pleading for help. Driven by a father’s desperate love, James embarks on a quest to unearth the truth.
Frantic, he enlists a private investigator. His ex-wife’s ominous lies thwart him at every turn. As he peels back the layers of deceits of the past, his son’s devastating fate comes to light - igniting suspicions and hinting at her guilt, though proof slips through his grasp.
Grief and mounting dread propel James deeper into the sinister labyrinth, where the living and the dead collide - and hope of closure threatens to fade into the void forever.
A gripping tale of fatherhood, loss, and the relentless struggle for love and legacy amid the debris of Parental Alienation, a scourge tearing families apart worldwide.
