Class Reunion George Hess

Life couldn't be better for Derek Pinner. In the affluent world of Crofton, Connecticut he was on top of the world. All he could think of was celebrating the notification of his full scholarship to a prestigious medical school. He would celebrate with the person he wanted to be with most, his stepsister, Jessie. His father, the renowned Dr. Pinner was treating Jessie for her lifelong illness, Attention Deficit Disorder. Dr. Pinner and Jessie's mother, now married, were spending the weekend at a convention, leaving Jessie and Derek several days together. Jessie was making great strides in her fight to be normal, and with Derek's help normalcy was in reach. As he drove through the quiet streets of Crofton and approached the house and the woman he had grown to love, his heart seemed to beat faster. In the few minutes it took to park the car and walk to the house, his world changed into a kaleidoscope of horror that would follow him through his generation, thrusting him, his family and his friends into a world of rape, lies, murder and revenge, changing forever his life and the lives he touched.
