A dark story of a family moulded by abuse, neglect, a love
betrayed, hate and sibling rivalry. Genes, fate and dogma govern
the lives of Emily and her two sons John and Frank. A stranger
provides the catalyst that will direct all their futures. Guilt
preys heavily on John for the unwitting part he played in the
deaths of two family members. Once a devout Catholic, part of him
wants to seek the relief of absolution, but he no longer believes
in God. To atone he makes fundamental mistakes and becomes 'The
Misguided Samaritan' John considers himself a befriender of the
young and vulnerable and we learn of the terrible paths trodden by
them leading to this 'Misguided Samaritan.'
