Latraxus

FBI Agent Adeline Brandt has spent her career searching for her younger brother Ronan, who vanished as a child from foster care. Her investigation into a string of occult murders leads her to a second Earth — the Kingdom of Sakarias — where she learns Ronan was taken, and where the truth is guarded by forces far older than either world.

Kevin Michael Morin is a Seattle-based playwright, screenwriter, director, and actor. His writing is grounded in lived experience — Heavy Lifting, his workplace-comedy calling card, grew out of real time spent riding shotgun on his best friend's moving truck — and explores economic necessity, institutional power, and chosen family under pressure. He's currently directing the pilot proof of concept for Troll Town, written by Colin O'Shaughnessy Tucker, and is actively pitching Latraxus, The Red Card, and Heavy Lifting.

In a community sealed off by one unbreakable law — no one crosses the crossroads — the woman who keeps its official record has spent twenty years secretly documenting everything she can't explain. When her apprentice begins slipping toward the boundary everyone was raised to fear, she has to decide whether two decades of careful documentation protected her street, or just kept her from looking at it directly.

Approach

Artistic vision

Kevin Michael Morin writes character-driven stories grounded in real experience — workplaces, friendships, and the everyday systems that shape how people get by. Whether the tone is comedy or drama, the work stays rooted in documented realities and lived experience.

His characters are ordinary people navigating imperfect situations with humor, stubbornness, and heart. The work favors honesty over easy answers, and finds warmth in the specific, lived-in details of how people actually support each other.
