He carefully navigates through his adolescence in an effort to stay clear of his father's wrath and find some semblance of a normal happy life. His grandparents provide him with some balance as they are happy to give him the attention and love he so desperately needs. Unfortunately their influence is limited and their efforts to see him are often in vain. As time passes Shayne becomes aware that something about his family is not quite right. There lies a secret within the core of his family that has existed long before he was born. As the secret unfolds it threatens to unravel his entire world and possibly tear his family as he knows it apart.
