Official synopsis Publisher
Ben Emlik was a handsome young man with many options before him options which took him from college to the exciting world of New York modeling and escort services for wealthy women. His stunning looks and finely-sculpted body opened every door for him, but he could not escape the madness and the secrets hidden beneath the cover-boy veneer. Emlik House, his family home, was an immense mansion that virtually held its inhabitants prisoner and kept their shocking secrets within its walls. His mother was a Latin beauty who could neither reconcile nor control the insanity of her family. Myer Emlik, Ben’s father, was a master of deception and manipulation; his Aunt Sovia, a psychic visionary who intervened with her spiritual communications; his sister, the flippant young woman, Camilla, scoffed at the bitter reality of their lives. To escape all of it, Ben’s brother, Jon, became a priest with the hope of somehow obtaining salvation for all of their souls. Only the mysterious Aunt Tanya knew the extent of this family’s voyage into sin and destruction even she could not steer their course away from disaster.
