Mnemosyne

Synopsis

For his entire life, Cam believed that everything but the island was destroyed in an apocalyptic event. By the mercy of the Seraphim, Cam’s father Pastor was shown an island where he and a small community of the chosen would be kept safe, but only if they did as the Seraphim commanded.

Every morning Cam helps hand out communion while Pastor preaches to the devoted island population. When Cam’s sister falls ill, he is forced to find a way to save her, and discovers the sinister truth about his family and the very island he calls home. A harrowing game of memory and manipulation unravels, revealing that things are not always as they seem.
