It's 11:00 p.m. Do you know where your children are?
Years ago, that question was asked of every parent as it aired nightly on national television. It was a simple question that prompted a simple answer: Yes, I do or No, I don't. We live in a much different world today, a world in which the answer to that once simple question is not so simple anymore. While we may find relief in knowing that our child is at home in their room, typing away on their computer, they may be, in essence, very far away indeed. Welcome to the world of the internet. Escape is just a click away.
Alex is a young boy who is very unhappy with his life. His parents have moved so many times that he constantly struggles with the conflict of leaving his close friends and having to make new ones. He uses his creative imagination, natural curiosities, and after-school at home alone time on the internet as a means of escaping his emotional turmoil. This, unwittingly, leads him to make a gruesome discovery that changes his life forever.
The Latchkey is a story about the childhood friendships that bind us, the unsettling power of the internet that we wield so carelessly at times, and the changing world we live in and its effect on our families. Get ready to embark upon a suspenseful journey that will make you laugh, cry, cause you to wonder, and will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
