Marked for Life

Cody Coots is a fourth-generation serpent handler. By age 6, he handles mock serpents with his sister, Trina, in the church, using leather belts for props. Cody secretly yearns for a normal childhood.

He likes to ride his bike, play drums, and watch WWE wrestling with his father, Jamie. Jamie is the world’s most famous serpent-handling preacher. A terrible act of violence befalls 8-year-old Cody, and shocks the serpent handling community. A preacher pleads guilty to charges of deviant sexual abuse, and heads to prison for his crimes. Unfortunately, it’s too late: Cody’s innocence is shattered. Anger boils inside the boy, until he turns his wrath upon his parents, his church, and even his God.

Cruising the backstreets of Middlesboro as a late-teen, looking for nothing but trouble, Cody’s sins begin to pile up. The consequences do, too. Is he beyond salvation?
