Synopsis
After decades of dysfunction, nightmares, and molestation, a courageous family gives a graphic account of their haunting experiences as children. They share the horrors of being raised in a world where abuse and deception run rampant, incest is commonplace, and murder goes unpunished. Filmmaker James Ronald Whitney explores the trauma that his own family has experienced at the hands of his grandfather, Melvin Just. He exposes how his grandfather has kept his dirty little secrets quiet; secrets that took the life of one woman, and destroyed the lives of several little girls; secrets that have never been revealed until now.
