When their mother dies and their father walks out the same day, 18-year-old Caleb is left holding his baby sister-born with one arm and no idea what she's lost. Desperate to keep her out of the system and away from the ghosts of their past, Caleb makes a choice: he becomes her everything. Her home. Her protector. Her "Dad."
Years pass. To the world, they're an odd pair. To her, he's always been "Daddy." But behind the locked doors and drawn curtains, Caleb is unraveling-haunted by the abuse he suffered growing up, and terrified the past will catch up with the only person he loves.
As suspicions rise, secrets come to light, and the fragile world they built begins to fall apart, a devastating truth emerges: love alone may not be enough to save them.
A harrowing, heart-wrenching story of trauma, survival, and the family we choose, My Brother, My Father explores what it means to be broken-and how far we'll go to protect the ones who make us whole.
