When an opportunity to break free from his father's hold comes his way, will Midnight grab it even if it means breaking his mask, too? *** Since childhood, Midnight Velasquez has always dreamed of spending more time with his big brother. However, due to their father's will and circumstances beyond his control, they have always been kept apart.
