The journey of a new way in life is sometimes christened in the crucible of a tragedy, yet for our protagonist this is exactly the catalyst that changed his life forever. The death of a wealthy Boston investment banking leaves a single surviving son alone to face a very uncertain future. Brad Wayne Hamilton is faced with the simple choice of chronic despair or living another new way of living, a life lived on the edge, absent any of sort of normal friendships or fraternal bonds. His new life's journey brings novel challenges, unusual friends and demons. This is a story of youthful misfortune, love and personal inner discovery, which eventually leads to a personal and powerful climax known as 'Satan's Pitchfork'.
