Synopsis

As a young boy, Granville is subjected to physical and mental torture by his bullying father. He is beaten into submission, battered into a complete wreck, and forced to pay the price
of his father's ambition. Meanwhile his mother looks on in complicit silence until one day, many years later, Granville returns to the family home.
