Plot Summary of Masquerade
"In MASQUERADE you will meet Jeremias Turner, a young man desperate to find his place in a world that is less than kind to him. At a young age he was betrayed by those in his family that were trusted and estranged by a suffocating mother that wanted to control him.... only to be taunted by his peers due to his unique disposition. You will feel his pain, cheer at his triumphs, and be forced to judge his decisions.
