Then comes the day when his morther and father are suddenly fighting and just like that his mother sinks into depression leaving Tommy to care for his sister Greta who is very afraid of her mother's mood swings... Things go from bad to worse when their mother suddenly kills herself...  And, Tommy's life is changed forever. In the midst of this shocking and devastating development Tommy learns a horrible secret from his father... A secret that sends him to the home of a new relative, a relative he never knew he about.
