Fiends and monsters in most adolescents' lives are conjured up fantasies or characters from a Grimm Brothers fairy tale or the like, which produce an occasional nightmare. The ogre that bedeviled the Ralston children was not a fleeting fantasy or a dark character in a bad dream after a scary movie. Their antagonist was an ever-present alcoholic and abusive father. In an effort to visit retribution on the source of their fear and angst, the children initiate an innocuous little distraction called The Rock Club,an exclusive group of juvenile mercenaries determined to torment and befuddle their father.Trouble is, unlike childhood, The Rock Club is not forever left behind. It encores 19 years later, and this time it's deadly.
