Brian Stewart is a respected professional man, liked by his
colleagues and friends and loved by his wife Marcia and their two
young children. He has never been the kind of man who would lose
his sense of propriety or do anything on an impulse. Until, that
is, the day he starts to go off the rails. Alarmed at the change in
her husband, Marcia is horrified to discover that he has incurred
tens of thousands of pounds in debts after starting to gamble
compulsively. Soon afterwards, he is arrested for alleged sexual
offences, including rape. Marcia stands by Brian but is unable to
understand or explain this profound change in her husband’s
behaviour. Surely, he is not in his right mind. But what sort of
affliction could lead to such serious loss of control over his
basic impulses?
'If you don't know, I don't know...' 'Things not discussed can
never be recorded and therefore have never taken place.' Those were
the last words Michael Butler said to his younger son, Jeff, on a
Saturday evening in August before Jeff left on holiday. Jeff could
not have imagined that events would unravel so fast from there,
starting with the suicide of his father by hanging in their garage
later that night and leading to a surprising trip to Hungary, where
his father had been working for an international organisation and
had become involved in investigating the trafficking of Roma girls
into the sex trade. As far as Jeff was concerned, the act of
suicide causes such indescribable pain for those left behind that
for anyone to even contemplate the act was inexcusable. An act of
love betrayed. But was his father really responsible for taking his
own life?
