Tadhg Lynch was broken. Perhaps too broken for a boy of his age. After living a life of torment, abuse, and emotional and physical turmoil, his world had tilted on its axis when his father, Teddy Lynch, set their home on Elks Terrace ablaze, murdering both himself and Tadhg's mother, Marie Lynch. After a heroic rescue of him and his little brothers by Johnny Kavanagh, Irish rugby superstar and his sister's boyfriend, he was finally provided with a loving home, parents, and the stability he, and his five siblings, should've recieved from the start. From then on, you could've said that Tadhg had finally begun living a semi-normal life. That's until he met her. Bethany Gibson. The little sister of Gerard "Gibsie" Gibson that would have his ego on a leash, and his heart in her hands. Bethany shouldn't have made it after falling off the edge of a yacht with her father and brother, Joe and Gibsie, following soon after in 1995. At least, that's what the adults had said when they thought she wasn't listening. Her father, who didn't make it out like her, haunted her dreams and thoughts wherever she went. Her father, the man who died trying to save her. The events of the haunting day of her brother's Holy Communion were nothing more than a blur. She was only a baby when everything had went down. But the guilt? The trauma from an event she could barely visualise? It weighed her down and submerged her in a sea that was more formidable than the one she'd almost died in ever could be. However, the monster created when she was a baby was not the only one weighing her down. A monster that was more near, more evil, more invasive, and the one that changed her from the bubbly, loveable girl she once was. The one that's long list of child victims did not stop at her.
