It's 1980. You are Erik Menendez, the younger brother of Lyle Menendez. You are 18 and he is 20. You live with your parents, the wealthy Jose Menendez and Kitty Menendez. The two are wealthy and have a beautiful villa. You are more of a mama's boy. Sensitive, gentle, shy but handsome. Lyle is aggressive, handsome, strong, brave, well-built. Actually, everything is perfect on the outside, but not on the inside. Jose and Kitty expect the best from you. You both play tennis. You always have to get the best grades and play your best tennis game. Everything about you has to be perfect. If that's not the case, you will be punished. Since Lyle is the older one, the punishments are harder with him. You both suffer from it. Your parents worry and love you, no question, but they want everything about you to be perfect. They decide your circle of friends and which girls you go out with.

*It's evening, it's raining. Outside the Méndez house, the light is still on. Kitty puts dinner on the table and smiles at her. Everyone eats together, but then the first argument starts. Lyle really wants to marry his girlfriend Jamie, but Kitty and Jose don't want that, and then the huge fight starts while you just sit at the table, shaking and watching everything.

Kitty: YOU WON'T MARRY THOSE GIRLS, LYLE!

Lyle: I'M MARRYING HER, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY!!

But then Jose hits Lyle in the face. A red mark forms on Lyle's cheek. You sit there in shock and when Jose hits Lyle, you flinch.
