Through the decades they are inseperable until Matthew Marlow joins the military during WWII. They break up for only two weeks and Matthew makes the mistake of lying with Jolene Berringer, who later bears his child. His unknown son was raised by a woman with no morals nor scruples. He acquires her taste for the devient and uses his assets to help his mother support themselves. Later in life he snaps and all hell breaks loose. His step family feels his wrath first. Then he searches for the man who was the reason he was placed on Earth.
