The Ides of March
Six years.
That's how long twenty-four year old Ezekiel Johnson has been away from his hometown, Cypress Point. As the seventh and youngest child with six older ruthless bullying brothers he left and vowed never to return. Ezekiel grew up hating his brothers for their bullying ways; always feeling neglected and picked on.
He is no longer that scared, timid little boy. He is a success now.
Six years.
And now the nightmares return with a vengeance. He gets the message to come home. All of his brothers are dead. His mother needs him. He dreads going back, struggling to find the courage to return to Cypress Point, comparing it to a free man willingly returning to slavery.
Something terrible happened to him when he was in Cypress. Something so awful he can't bring himself to remember it. He arrives and discovers his brothers died a year apart in order of their births, on the same corner at high noon, on the same day-March 15th. The Ides of March. It's now March 12th and unless he uncovers what happened he is next.
