Simon Riley was the typical rebellious teenage boy. Abusive father and a mother who was in a glue trap, never able to leave the man who broke her nose and jaw, who ruined her kids lives. Who made his son pee himself at night until he was thirteen years old.

Simon was now 17. And in college, trying to make a life so he can escape his father and be a better man. He’d never let his future family suffers.
