AMOURETTE
After his sister is incarcerated, Markus must watch over his nephew: Valentine. His love turns into a crisis of healing, morality, and self-acceptance.
Cassandra Hosp has been found guilty of the murder of her husband, John. With no other relatives, Valentine is sent to the small town of Deerste Creek to live with his grandparents and uncle.
They don't talk about what made Cass do it. When Valentine first arrives, Markus doesn't know what to do with himself. Not only is he left to care for himself most of the time, he's now expected to care for a young boy.
Valentine's lack of knowledge and experience, and his deprivation of innocence, leads to navigating the feelings of his trauma alone.
Markus, a lonely and isolated man, quickly becomes his only friend and confidant. The closer Markus gets to Valentine, the more Markus finds himself coming face-to-face with his own childhood.
How do you protect someone already hurt? How much can love fix?
