But sometimes a contrick goes wrong and one has gone very wrong, leaving Roy with internal bleeding from a baseball bat blow to the stomach. Luckily, Roy's mother, Lilly, turns up and recognizes that he is very sick. Lilly is a very attractive woman in her late thirties and she bears a striking resemblance to Roy's girlfriend, Moira. she also has very ambivalent feelings towards her son. As Roy recovers, the tensions between Lilly and Moira build up until there is only one possible outcome -- a devastating explosion of violence." --$cFrom back cover.
