Where Good Becomes Evil and Evil Becomes Good

“It is one of the worst things of sentiment that the voice grows to be more important than the words, and the speaker than that what is spoken. ” - Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson, The Master of Ballantrae

James and Henry are two antagonistic brothers. Henry is willing to sacrifice everything for the good of the ones around him while James is a master of deception, ruthless and evil to the bone. Although both depart on different paths straight from the beginning, they eventually clash on more than several occasions. Whose side will you be?
