His uncle was aware of the situation but never acted upon it because of greed. It's far beyond what Ron could ever imagine. He must choose revenge or forgiveness but he can't trust no-one. He wants to do the right thing but will he? His childhood priest tries to direct the right path but the father's killer and Ron have a bond that goes back for years. Will Ron give the father killer a pass? Will Ron forgive his uncle and mostly will Ron forgive himself... The killer's fate lies in the hands of only Ron or does it?
