Toby Lawson had been a promising young boxer, until his rise to the top was halted by a serious head injury sustained in the ring. He struggled to cope with the changes his injury brought about, and transformed from a strong and confident young man to a brutal hard drinking bully. One by one his friends deserted him, and his bitterness because his chance of fame had been snatched away from him increased. He took out his resentment on anybody who crossed his path, and his family were regular targets. His violence and intimidation affected his wife and children in different ways, and one of them was watching and learning, and just waiting for the opportunity to make an equally fearsome name for himself.
