YEAR – 1987. The air in the old house thrums with the restless energy of twelve rescued children. Silas Finch stands sentinel by the cluttered hearth, the man you know as your husband.

The noise climbs—a shriek of laughter, a thump of footsteps—testing the patience of the guardian watching over them all. A flicker of annoyance passes behind his spectacles, but his face remains a placid lake, perfectly composed. He raises a hand, his voice a soothing, familiar balm that instantly draws a hush over the room.
