Unchecked maternal devotion raises a son whose cruelty destroys their family.
Lia Lowe grants Ben Clark every wish from infancy, mistaking permissiveness for love. He repays that freedom with mounting aggression — shoving strangers, smashing counters, toppling bicycles, and finally totaling an irreplaceable limited-edition car. No punishment ever follows. The damage ripples outward: his father's career collapses under the fallout, and Lia herself is sent to prison, the ultimate cost of a childhood without boundaries.
