The Architect of Fate

"The Architect of Fate" is the story of a family's tragic ending. What seems like another day for Jocelyn and Stephanie; the two eldest daughters of Richard and Evelyn, is interrupted by a loud bang and their mom - Evelyn's scream. Stephanie: older than Jocelyn and fearless, runs first to the scene. She finds Evelyn dead. In disbelief of what she’s looking at she begins to scream. Responsible for Evelyn’s death; Richard attempts to calm Stephanie down before he strangles her. Afraid and unsure of what else to do Jocelyn takes her little brother Leo and flees to their neighbor's house. Richard goes after them but before he can reach for Leo, she wakes up. It was just a nightmare. As she attempts to catch her breath she's startled by the same loud noise and screaming that she’d just heard in her dream. It was really happening; it wasn't just a nightmare anymore. But she can't do anything to change it, Richard kills them all. The next day, Richard is at the police station being interrogated by Detective McCallum who can't get his confession on what really happened last night. Being more experienced; Detective Ortiz steps up and has what it takes to get under his skin. Richard has no choice but to confess and it ends in another one of his angry outbursts. He requests to speak on the phone with his mom, who at first is hysterical listening to her son's confession. But within a matter of moments is demanding to testify in court for him. "The Architect of Fate" is the story of a man's uncontrolled authority, who like many, continues until it's far too late. It's the reality of what many families experience in silence at the hands of their father or husband and explores narcissism.
