The story: Liam is a brilliant young man who wants to be an author.

He has been working on a novel for many years but has recently put it down for a bit.

Liam works as a tutor and is very good at what he does. 

So good, that to his surprise, he is sought after by famous author J M Sinclair.

You see, Liam looks up to and admires Sinclair's work and knows it all by heart.

He strives to be just as good as him one day.

So, it is purely an honor and delight that Sinclair has hired him.

Liam's hired job is to tutor Sinclair's youngest son, Bertie.

Bertie is struggling with his writing and Sinclair believes he must do the best he can to make it into the college that he must attend...

What Liam ends up learning while tutoring Bertie, is that the household in which he lives, along with his mother, is quite oppressed by Sinclair.

Sinclair rules over his household with a heavy hand, leaving everyone around him feeling unworthy and somber.

Liam even finds that in time, Sinclair makes him feel the very same way he makes his family feel.

But Liam was hired to help...
