rumors.

▶

Kidnapped as an infant and raised by a gang of dangerous criminals named GOLDILOCKS by the authorities until his brother found him wandering the streets and brought him home. So the story goes, anyway.

▶

Previously involved with a young man who may or may not be in prison for crimes relating to domestic terrorism.

▶

Has an illegitimate daughter he left in the care of a music teacher at a prestigious boarding school in the Swiss Alps.

▶

Once dated a man who later was revealed to be the serial cop-killer known in the media as NIGHTHAWK.

▶

Lost his arm and received his trademark scar in a fight against a bear.

▶

His personal masseuse isn't really a masseuse at all, and might even have connections to the criminal underworld. Maybe he's cheating ... or maybe he and Set like to share. Who said three's a crowd?

▶

Has a weird thing for clowns.

Background.

You've heard of his family, even if you know nothing about them. They're a household name, people to admire or despise, part of the social consciousness. Don't worry about what their name is. You know exactly the kind of people they are: exorbitantly wealthy, old money, old traditions, probably a little bit inbred if you go back far enough (and they go back far), with as much power and influence as the Rockefellers and Medicis combined.

Shanks is the baby of the family, the one always in the headlines and gossip rags for good or ill. When he was an infant, he was abducted and grew up apart from the family until he was fifteen. The incredible story of his return exploded all over the news — rife with shocking allegations of human trafficking, child pornography, sex slaves, and cult brainwashing — which dominated global media cycles for almost a year. Shanks never really told his side of the story; his family's PR team did all the work for him, and investigative journalists and paparazzi did the rest.

In his early thirties, he eloped with Set, his then somewhat secret paramour — which, of course, stirred another scandal, considering that he had recently and very publicly proposed to longtime friend [YOU?!]. (A publicity stunt orchestrated to dispel rumors about his sexuality, which he was forced to go along with.)

Now, more than twenty years since the prodigal son returned, the truth of his childhood years will finally be revealed! That camera crew you've seen setting up equipment around the manor? They're here to film a new documentary, obviously! The Balfours have graciously offered to host the film crew for some of their oldest family friends. (There are even whispers of a big surprise event toward the end of filming in August — if you heard something about a vow renewal ceremony, no you didn't!)

And be sure to catch GOD VALLEY: MY LIFE AS GOLD ROGER'S APPRENTICE in select theaters OCTOBER 2008!
