Deep Bonds

Now, Lamont yearns not only to be respected by this newfound-but dysfunctional- family, but he wants a job in the family business. At first, Lamont is aggravated when he is not offered the posh executive position that he was promised at Cooper Industries. Instead, Jake asks Lamont to help with a special undercover assignment. Someone within the company is orchestrating a hostile takeover to steal the company from the Coopers. Lamont employs his hard work ethic and intelligence to weed out the traitor within the company, but is surprised to discover the mob's involvement.

Lamont battles both internal and external forces in order to gain his father's acceptance and approval. He intends to prove he is a worthy member of the family and that his status isn't defined by his illegitimate birth.
