Murphy's WayBy Anthony Stewart HigginsPeter was born in Rotorua,
New Zealand to a working class family. With the influence of a
dominant father, Peter soon learned to use violence and
intimidation to get what he wanted. It wasn't his true nature, but
one in which he had learned from both his father and the
neighbourhood in which he was surrounded. He had an average
upbringing, but tarnished it by choosing only to see what he wanted
to see; hence, his outlook on life remained distorted. Peter was a
great mate to the guys, but unfortunately, it never extended to any
woman, for he only viewed them as tools in which to quench his
gratification for sex. A welder by trade, Peter finds himself out
of work due to his hot temper and unhealthy attitude towards
authority. Out of the blue, he scores a once-in-a-lifetime job in
Hamilton and moves there to start a new life. He becomes a foreman
and is enrolled at the local technical institute part-time to study
business papers as part of his supervisory training. Within a few
short months, he's dating the boss's daughter, who is both
beautiful and intelligent, and his life is dramatically different
from the dreary slog he was used to on the shop floor.Simply a
dream come true for this once wild boy from Rotorua.Unfortunately,
misfortune strikes when Peter revisits his mates for an unplanned
party while the love of his life is in Auckland on a course. With
the steady consumption of alcohol, old habits start to resurface.
Before Peter can come to his senses, he finds himself alone with a
young woman who is as sexually charged as he is and succumbs to her
voluptuous body in a frenzy of unbridled sex in a hay barn. But the
worst is yet to come. Riddenwith guilt, Peter heads to his local
bar to sort himself out and seek temporary respite in familiar
surroundings. Unfortunately, he is caught driving his car while
drunk on the way home, and ends up in jail. It is here that his
past revisits with a vengeance
