My Dirty Secrets

After his mother is critically injured in a hit-and-run, 14-year-old Sport McAdams mistakenly believes she has abandoned him and his younger brother Oliver. Desperate to keep them together, Sport is drawn into a web of internet exploitation by Sid, a manipulative bank teller, and his sadistic brother Ted. As Sport’s world unravels, he finds a tenuous ally in Miriam, a compassionate social worker, but as the stakes escalate, Sport must risk everything to protect Oliver and expose Ted’s network of "dirty secrets."

Writer Statement

I believe stories should speak truth to power and give voice to those who are too often unheard. I write to explore the gray areas of human nature, where resilience, justice, and hope still manage to break through. Even in the darkest moments, I believe storytelling can light the way forward.
