"I'll never leave your side, not today. Not ever. I promise you, Jeffery." A heartfelt promise that got broken and changed my life for good. Brother's keeper shows the plights suffered by two brothers in the dark gloom of 1997 Montana. In the brutal hands of their Uncle, they grew, learning the art of survival together that formed a bond nobody could end. Until, Noah got murdered one fateful night. Finding no reason for life any longer, Jeffery runs away, making it his life's goal to avenge his brother's death when he got older. While circumstances around him turns him colder day by day, his aspiration as a boxer grows. But, after killing the four people who ended Noah's life, there became a possibility the corpse he'd seen years before belonged to somebody else. Was Noah alive? Or was there just an evil surprise lurking in the darkness that threatened to ruin his entire life and career?
