Possession of Mr Cave

Terence Cave has already experienced the tragedies of his mother's suicide and his wife's murder when his teenage son, Reuben, is killed in a grotesque accident. Terence comes to realise that his one duty in life is to protect his remaining child, Bryony, from the world's malign forces. But as he starts to follow his grieving daughter's movements and enforce a draconian set of rules, his love for Bryony becomes a possessive force that leads to destruction and, ultimately, murder.
