On Odin's orders, Thor and his brothers Balder and Tyr have kidnapped Loki's children and locked them away to prevent them from fulfilling their destiny. In a fit of rage over the loss of his precious little ones, Loki murders Balder. As punishment, he is bound to a tree on earth with the keys to his children's prisons dangling just out of reach. There he will stay hidden from the eyes of the humans until the trees lose their memory of Balder. Thousands of years later, Caleb and his girlfriend Rachel bring their children into the woods to hunt for a rare floral specimen. When they discover an unfortunate man tied to a tree, they have no idea what horrors they are about to unleash. "Father of Lies" is a fantasy-horror story based on Viking mythology. Set in both the present and the past, the tale unmasks the Norse gods for the cruel beings they are and illustrates that the line between what is good and evil is often blurred.
