Plot Synopsis from Wikipedia
CN: abuse and rape, step-incest, suicide attempts, death, drug abuse, prostitution
Fifteen-year-old Jeremy Butler moves from Boston to Hampstead with his mother Sandra after she marries Greg Roland, a widowed British aristocrat. While Greg maintains an idyllic relationship with Sandra, he regularly subjects Jeremy to physical, psychological, and sexual abuse. Fearful that his emotionally fragile mother may re-attempt suicide if the truth is exposed, Jeremy initially bears the abuse in silence. As the abuse intensifies, Jeremy conspires to kill Greg by tampering with the brakes in his stepfather’s car, though the resulting accident kills both Greg and Sandra.
Ian Roland, Jeremy’s adult stepbrother from Greg’s previous marriage, suspects that Jeremy is responsible for his father’s death. When he attempts to convince Jeremy to confess to his actions, Jeremy flees to Boston and begins injecting heroin to suppress the memory of his trauma, supporting his drug use through prostitution. Some time later, Ian discovers the truth of Greg’s abuse of Jeremy; horrified by his father’s actions and his own ignorance of them, he becomes Jeremy’s caretaker to make amends for his father’s abuse. As Ian and Jeremy grow closer, Ian finds himself disturbed by the growing sexual attraction he feels towards his stepbrother, and begins to fear that he may ultimately subject Jeremy to the same abuse that his father once did.
