Children of Decay
In an empty, barren moor, beside a polluted river and a dead forest lives a solitary old man performing a long-forgotten craft.
He is rumoured to have murdered his own wife and children.
A powerful family’s ancient purity has been broken as the banyan tree representing the sanctity of their name has started to decay.
So, to fulfill a prophecy, they must open an underground cellar for the first time in centuries.
Only days before the fated night, an escaped convict recites a dream that earns him a place at the estate and the family’s prodigal youngest son disappears!
These are the absurdities of our protagonists – a young man from the capital and a fisherman boy with a mysterious past – must face, as they partake in a journey where they confront the perils of growing into the realities of adulthood.
