For twenty years, Ethan has endured a life of relentless scorn and backbreaking labor, cleaning toilets and hauling trash for a pittance, all to keep his ailing foster mother, Margaret, alive. The village sees him only as the "orphan boy," a charity case with "bad blood," constantly reminded of his mother's death and his unknown father. Every copper coin he earns is a battle against destitution, a desperate fight for survival in a world that offers him nothing but contempt. But as Margaret's cough worsens and Viktor's cruelty intensifies, Ethan clings to a fragile hope that someday, things will be different. What hidden truth lies buried in his past, waiting to shatter the harsh reality he knows and claim the legacy he never knew existed?
