Surprisingly, Billy grows into a very respectable person, who against all odds, manages to leave the care of the local social services children s home and make a very successful life of his own. After the constant flashbacks of his childhood abuse, Billy decides that the time has come for his mother and stepfather to be made accountable for their ill treatment of him.

Years after the abuse took place; The Police, The Crown Prosecution Service and Billy are ready to go trial.

Will he get the closure he needs to carry on with his life or will his abusive parents be free to leave the dock. A fantastic insight into one person s fight for justice and to two parents who know the truth, but refuse to admit that they have done anything wrong.
