It’s all about the truth:
In the QUEST for truth, it’s a struggle to discover what is what and who is who.
To DISCOVER that truth will mean struggling to understand lives, revealing actions of the past.
To REVEAL the truth means to remove it from the shadows of those who would not be found, those who would not enlighten, caught up in the tide of fate and time and survive to tell the tale.
To SURVIVE the truth will mean challenging the game masters who want to keep the mysteries just the way they are.

It’s a struggle against the odds to discover what was lost, to survive the games of deceit played by those who would keep things just the way they are…
