Copperhead

Student. Singer. Lover. Spy.

Nineteen-year-old Abel Torres can bring an audience to its feet with the power of his voice. Even as a boy in a church choir he seemed destined for greatness. His copper-colored hair, athletic stride and hot cocoa skin turn heads. His voice lands him a full scholarship at San Francisco State.

Yet behind it all, his family struggles, homeless at one point, but always loving and accepting who he is. He vows to find a way to help them.

A mentor at school makes an introduction. Abel sings at a swank party of California political and social elites, entering a world of wealthy and powerful men. A young tech billionaire, a 20-something exiled Saudi prince and member of Congress want him. Abel sets his own terms, confident in his ability to manage this new reality, banishing Catholic guilt in favor of saving his family. Complicating his life, he meets a young waiter, a sassy law school student named Zachary. Given his questionable but lucrative side career, can he find true love?

The FBI asks him to go undercover and gather evidence about one client involved in a terrorist plot that could kill thousands. He agrees, a decision that will change his life forever. And that of his country.

There are still heroes.
