    Summary

    Karl Hesinburgs life in Miranda's foster home is long behind him. He’s a mechanic in a seaside town with his dog Uriaș, lives close to his sister Donna and is relatively content with his life. He’s worked hard to leave the pain of the past behind him but some wounds always ache.

    Nearly two decades later, Karl still thinks about his best friend Ethan Winters. They’d grown up together in the foster home until he was suddenly adopted by his half sibling, Chris Redfield. They've had no contact since that terrible day but Karl still carries a flame for the other, even now.

    He doesn't know life is not done with them yet.
