Questions about his childhood, his parents, and the family he was separated from force Ethan to reconsider everything he thought he knew about himself. As secrets surrounding his origins slowly emerge, the man everyone dismissed as useless begins uncovering a truth powerful enough to change his life forever. And when that truth finally comes to light, the Harrington family will have to face the man they never bothered to understand.
