Apparently based on a relatively-new comic series, you can also tell that this is a straight-to-TV affair, with it not *quite* having the budget or flair of a Hollywood film. It's also unclear just what happens if any of these immortals lose a limb - does it grow back?
Anyway, the driving force behind this is the discovery of a new immortal, just after the other's last mission goes sideways, with Big Pharma - in a plot development that will surprise no one - now out to see if they can extract the secret of their immortality from the group (who don't know it themselves).
Also definitely set up for a sequel: if it is half as good as this one, I'll be watching.

Memphis
By Kelly A Walker
I never understood why my momma would keep such a big secret from me. I begged for an answer, but she refused to give in. Now that momma is gone, her secret has been revealed.
The secret now has a name.
My name is Memphis Reynolds, and I find myself driving hours south in search of him. My biological father. The man momma kept hidden away from me for reasons I never knew.
Surrounded by half-truths, lies, and heartbreak, I find something I wasn’t searching for.
Love.
Three very different, very exceptional, very handsome men, will teach me that it is okay to let go the dreams of a little girl, and grab hold the desires of a grown woman.
They have no idea what they’re getting themselves into.
Bless their hearts.
I loved it!! Took me an hour to read! You can’t help read it from the beginning in a southern accent! It was well written and I really got drawn in! She’s a new author to me and can’t wait to see what else she’s got.
