Six Lives

Six lives, connected through blood and history, each rooted in the dirt of their inheritance, look to the future, and what it might hold.

In 1933, idealistic Edgar Waverley faces a choice of the heart when he becomes embroiled in a country house murder.

In 1964, hapless KGB agent Vasily Sokolov makes his career conjuring valuable information from worthless detritus.
