Beyond the innocence of childhood... beyond all the rules of society

Divorced rich mother Candice Love has three sons at boarding school. The eldest, 12 year-old Dan, is totally unmanageable and aggressive, a bad influence on his brothers. When attempts to 'socialise' him fail, his mother takes him back home, where he gradually progresses into psychosis.
