Meanwhile Charles's elder son, Bill, has troubles of his own to deal with. Bill's son, Michael, has learned of a family secret which threatens to undermine his very existence. A chasm opens up in their picture perfect family as Michael goes in search of answers about his past.

But then disaster strikes, and that changes everything ....
