Summary: Ruth Denton is a fiery woman, with an appetite for other women's husbands. Married to Tom, they have a one child, a son called Casey. Musically talented and with a sensitive nature, Casey's young life is blighted by his mother's cruel and unpredictable behaviour. For some reason, unbeknown to her husband, Ruth has a vicious and unnatural contempt for the boy which borders on hatred. Quiet and hard-working Tom has long suspected his wife of having sordid affairs, but to keep the peace has chosen to turn a blind eye. But when, quite unexpectedly, Tom receives two bits of news, his world is cruelly shattered and he realises things will have to change. Tom sets out to fight for his son, determined to keep him safe from Ruth, who is equally determined to keep Casey with her. Then tragedy strikes, and fate takes a hand. Many miles away, across the globe, events are already underway that will change the course of many people's lives. It seems that Tom's prophetic words are coming true "It's done. The dice is thrown, and nobody wins."
