While both are grieving the loss of their father, neither can console the other due to their own fractured relationship caused by an old quarrel between them. Given each of their situations, they both feel ready for a fresh start.
But when that fresh start presents itself, along with their father’s dying wish, neither are certain they can claim the opportunity. In order to inherit, their father has instructed that his daughters travel on the road together, for a total of one year.

ARE KILLERS BORN OR ARE THEY BRED?
This is the story about Reid and Riley, twins separated at birth.
One is a soldier, the other a radical, and each is fighting for a cause.
While the brothers have differing beliefs, one common factor is that because of their family history and the circumstances surrounding their birth, the current laws in place deem them unfit to live among society. Laws created based on someone else’s idea about what makes a society “fit.” Laws formed when the world was in chaos, and those in power decided to first monitor and then remove potential threats from society.
Are children doomed to a life of limitations because of the family they are born in to?
Will history repeat itself and cause a child to follow in the footsteps of their criminally minded parents?
This is the story of two brothers, who know nothing of the other, and whether their fates will run parallel or collide when one has been trained to hunt down the other.
