Charlotte was a young woman when her husband died while making love to her. This left her with a young son, ten year old David. He is a handsome little boy the spitting image of his father. On the day of her husbands funeral she began taking young David into her bed.
Over the years this developed into a full blown sexual relationship. When David starts college Charlotte has concerns about all the young girls there. It's not long before he meets beautiful young Sarah, a deadly triangle begins. David is torn between his mother and Sarah.
At a barbeque Charlotte is introduced to Mark David's friend, thus another deadly triangle begins. David has suspicions about his mother and Mark, and continues the battle with her over Sarah. One day he returns early from an away break with Sarah, and finds Mark in bed with his mother.
Mark taunts him resulting in a furious fight which ends in Marks accidental death. David and his mother bury him under their nearly completed new patio. They are interviewed by the police when they learn of Charlotte's rather forward behaviour with Mark at David's birthday party.
