Bruno Berger, living in Johannesburg, South Africa, is cruelly abused by his parents during his formative years and develops a hatred for his fellow beings that dominates his life. Throughout his young life he has been ridiculed and betrayed.

He meets Conrao "Connie" Amores, another abused student at his school and the two young boys plan to eliminate their tormentors, especially their parents. On the day that they've agreed to begin their revenge, Connie commits suicide and Bruno is left to continue with their mission on his own.

Bruno kills both his parents and then goes to his school, mainly to wreak revenge on Lucy Brentworth, his main tormentor during his schooldays. Unable to kill Lucy, Bruno kidnaps her and holds her hostage, only to find out that Lucy is also the victim of child abuse.

The two young people decide to team up, escape from the police, and go on the rampage, robbing a business, killing Lucy's abusive father as well as Connie's parents. Captured by the police after a car chase, Bruno is found guilty of several crimes including murder and kidnapping and incarcerated in a Child Detention Centre while Lucy, denying all Bruno's claims of a joint conspiracy, is placed on probation.

Obsessed with Lucy's betrayal, Bruno swears revenge. He escapes from the Detention Centre twice with the intention of killing Lucy.

His first attempt to kill Lucy fails when she tricks him and, when his second attempt also fails, Lucy persuades him to return to the Centre. Bruno falls in love with her, although he is still struggling to overcome his affliction.

Lucy though, has come to terms with her affliction and, by example, helps Bruno in his struggle to return to normality. This is a story of the triumph of love over its real enemy; indifference, the turning away from those in need.

It's the story of the influence that one person's love can have on another; the transformation of an individual filled with hatred and revenge into someone who can express love and compassion. Child abuse is a world-wide abomination and it is hoped that this story will give a stark insight into the horrors and consequences that this maltreatment can, and does, create in the lives of millions of defenceless children.
