Elias Ramirez was taken from his family at only a few months old by his mother. His life was one of chaos, neglect, abuse, and confusion.

Never be tied down to that identity for all the secrets it carries. Will he be so lucky? Or will he get caught. Oh did I forget to mention he has 6 older brothers actively trying to find him?
