The Attic

By: Richard McMaster

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

SYBIL KOBAK, SYBIE, a classmate of BYRON KELLY, suffers from NPS, nail-patella syndrome, a rare genetic disorder. Students call her Tic Toc because of the way she walks with her brace. Years after this school they meet again and she has a changed woman. They marry, but tragedy strikes before they can even enjoy a honeymoon. When Byron faces assault charges and a lawsuit, he flees to Chicago to assume a fake identity and new image. He takes a low-level computer support job with an international investment banking company where he discovers the CEO has embezzled over 26 million dollars.
When Byron Kelly becomes a whistleblower on the run from the FBI, he hides in the attic of a dying old man, HENRY STEELE. Byron cares for the old man and learns he is estranged from his daughter over the death of her mother, his wife, because of family secrets he has kept from her.
