Time in Vancouver:
A story about finding yourself after accidently discovering your life started with a lie.

Not every day do you meet someone who watched both of his parents die from The Big C and laid them to rest, only to discover sixteen years later that they weren't his parents after all!

​It's like being reborn as a whole different person.
