| Overview: | Beth and Jake have been married for 18 years. It's been an 18-year love affair, with parties, friends, good times--but under the surface a growing amount of violence.
Jake's animal magnetism is his proudest feature. To his mates at the pub, he's the kingpin who never loses a fight. But his violent lifestyle is now affecting his family. And though Beth has persuaded herself that her love will protect their five children, her hope is gradually being eaten away as she realizes that her two ender sons seem destined for teenage gangs and crime.
Then there's her daughter Grace, who has special gifts which also make her the most vulnerable member of the family. And it is Grace who will be driven to a tragedy which will shake the family to its core.
For Beth, this tragedy will be her darkest hour, but it will also be the spur which she needs to turn adversity into triumph and to create new hope for her family's survival.
