Never Trust Home

An Exodus Novel

De: Mister C

Narrado por: Eric Priessman

In the heart of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Charles Langley is a man adrift—haunted by a past stained with guilt and a present teetering on the edge of collapse. When his estranged father suffers a heart attack, Charles is thrust into a night of chaos at Ascension Saint John’s emergency room, where the sterile walls and blaring monitors mirror his unraveling mind. Seeking refuge in routine—push-ups to failure, a factory job, and fleeting connections with childhood friend Abigail—he struggles to ground himself in a world that feels increasingly unreal. But a chance encounter with Walter Faucet of the Red Sea Initiative, a group fighting human trafficking, ignites a spark of purpose he can’t ignore.

Across town, nine-year-old Olivia clings to her name—the last shred of identity she holds dear—as she endures unspeakable horrors at the hands of Joseph, the man she’s forced to call "Daddy." Trapped in a cycle of abuse and exploitation, her fragile spirit battles to survive, her only solace is the mantra that she is still human. When Abigail, fueled by her own scars and a fierce resolve, uncovers Olivia’s plight, she risks everything to free the girl, pulling Charles into a desperate mission that blurs the lines between savior and sinner.

As Charles grapples with his own demons—an addiction spiraling from late-night escapes to a dangerous fascination—he finds himself at a crossroads. The Red Sea Initiative offers redemption, but the cost is steep: confronting the evil he fears he might become.

Never Trust Home is a gripping tale of loss, resilience, and the search for meaning in a world where trust is a luxury few can afford. From the sterile glow of hospital corridors to the shadowed depths of human depravity, Mister C. weaves a narrative that asks: Can you save others when you’re still lost yourself? For Charles, the answer lies in the fight—not just for Olivia, but for the man he hopes to be.
