Description
This chilling true story of a successful family reveals the hidden reality behind appearances.
Colin is a brilliant, handsome, and charming man to the outside world, recruited by both the CIA and IBM. With all his success, the perception is that he has it all. The reality is a hellish nightmare of atrocious verbal and physical abuse for his beautiful wife, Alley, and their six children.
Just when Alley feels most helpless to protect her children from Colin's constant attacks, three mysterious women visit her with a promise that he will never hurt them again - if she gives them what they want. For the sake of the children, she agrees.
The women work their evil within her family, and Alley gains immense power against Colin, but that power comes at a terrible price, and now the children must find a way to survive both parents.
This horror-filled battle between Colin's insatiable appetite for abuse and Alley's demons will grip you and not let go.
