On April 25, 2016, Yovanni Guerra wakes to an ordinary morning: a sleeping wife, a six-year-old son, and the quiet comfort of family life in Miami.
A devoted husband, father, and elementary school teacher, Yovanni has built a life defined by love, loyalty, and hard-earned stability. But beneath the surface lies a past he has never fully outrun: old friendships, easy money, and habits formed long before he became the man his family believes him to be. When a favor for a childhood friend spirals into something far more dangerous, Yovanni is soon caught between the life he has built and the choices he once justified. As the hours tick down, every decision tightens the noose around him, forcing Yovanni to confront a question he’s avoided addressing for years:
Are we defined by who we were… or by who we choose to become?
Alexander Brito’s CREATURES OF HABIT is a gripping, emotionally charged portrait of loyalty, temptation, and the fragile line between redemption and ruin.
