Mother Father Son

US-born Max is at the heart of British politics and power, owner of a media empire that includes newspapers and television stations. His aristocratic ex-wife Kathryn has been frozen out of the family and spends her days working at a homeless shelter.

With their son fighting for his life in the hospital, the story of Max and Kathryn's relationship and their battles for control over the future of their son are revealed. Beneath the sheen of respectability there are terrible secrets waiting to be unleashed within Max's empire that could threaten its very existence.

Caden has been moved into a cutting-edge military rehabilitation facility. Kathryn dedicates herself full time to her son's rehabilitation, making up for the years she missed when Caden was a child.

With no prospect of returning to the role he had spent his life being groomed for, Caden has nothing to live for. He spirals downwards until his equally unhinged companion Orla suggests a suicide pact.

Twenty years of family hurt and betrayal come to a head as the mother, the father and the son gather at a remote rural house near Caden's rehab facility. Kathryn discovers the truth of the upbringing that Max inflicted on Caden - the creation of a man taught to feel nothing.

Having chosen their sides, everyone digs themselves in for the impending war. Caden finds Orla to warn her that she may be caught in the crossfire - her secrets deployed as ammunition against Caden. Kathryn and Caden meet with journalists to get Caden's story on record - an expose of the practices at Max's newspapers.
