But all of this came at a high price; his father had very little time to spend with his family and the time he was with them was strained; Charles is not an outwardly affectionate man, he believed that it was more important to give his family financial security. Unfortunately, the strain became too much for Tyler’s brother and when he committed suicide, it tore the family apart and sent Tyler into a tailspin. Now his mother has left and the rift between Tyler and his father is increasing daily.

But as fate would have it Tyler is arrested and when his father bails him out of jail, his bitterness only increases because he is now even more in debt to his father.
