Episode 1: Before
-
Narrated by:
-
By:
He was the one that would work nights, come home and make breakfast for us before he went to bed. The one who read us bedtime stories, complete with different voices for all the characters.
But he was also a man who was struggling with alcohol addiction. Loving him, meant loving both the warmth and the unpredictability. And remembering him - is remembering both of those things.
In the first episode of Blood at Dawn, Kevin’s daughter, Heather Stephens, returns to the ordinary goodbye that became her last. Through her own memories, and interviews with her mother and older sister, she introduces the complicated man that is the center of this story, and the family that he left behind on October 12, 1996.
Nearly 30 years later, Heather begins reading the records she once feared opening, and asking the questions about the story she was told at 13.
