Ken Butler was a survivor. Weighed down by depression, he was an optimist still. Driven by a burning desire to overshadow the circumstances of his past (he grew up in a public housing project, his mother was unstable, his only sister was a drug addict, he had no role model for a father) he determined to control his destiny. At the age of forty, all his dreams had come true. The scars of frustrations and constant struggles were deep but the misfortunes of the underprivileged were a thing of the past. Then one day, he discovered a family secret that muddled the previous accomplishments and reawakened in him all the resentments he had worked so hard to eradicate. What had happened to Ken Butler? Anticipating to unearth the events that led to his downfall, Laura Sullivan, housekeeper and childcare giver to his son Thunder, agreed to visit with him at the Kingston Penitentiary where he was incarcerated. Consequently, a personal interest in the pursuit of the events that triggered the strings of his heart to snap became an all consuming obsession, a relentless passion. As time went by, Laura became the anchor for survival to Ken and to his son. By a twist of fate, their lives became intertwined in a most unusual way.
