Origins of Identity
submitted by camelsamba on August 18, 2016, 3:19pm
Origin is a strange story with many interwoven elements, but is ultimately about identity.
The primary mystery is what might be behind a series of seemingly-unconnected cases of infant death. The most obvious explanation is SIDS, but one of the distraught mothers insists that something sinister is going on and needs to be investigated. Lena, a fingerprint specialist in the police department, is the central character and is drawn in for reasons not entirely obvious. Eventually the current day mystery gets connected to her own mysterious origins. Her relationship with her foster parents is fraught with tension, and ultimately provides clues that help solve the case.
