Unchecked maternal indulgence drives a son's cruelty to ruin his family.
Ben Clark enters life wrapped in his mother Lia Lowe's absolute refusal to deny him anything. Childish pranks curdle into targeted harm: he knocks cyclists down, shames bystanders, smashes the kitchen counter, and finally totals an irreplaceable limited-edition luxury car. Every incident draws excuses instead of correction. The absence of boundaries exacts a final price when consequences crash home, derailing his father's career and sending Lia to prison.
