Cuban refugee Jose Menendez rose to success as a businessman, but his tyrannical behavior at home made life unbearable for his wife Kitty and their sons. His sons, Lyle and Erik, suffered physical and emotional abuse, forced to follow in his footsteps and endure cruel punishments. As Lyle left for Princeton, Erik's abuse worsened, with his mother performing "genital inspections" out of fear of venereal disease from Jose's mistresses. Lyle's return home revealed Jose's plan to eliminate the brothers, prompting Lyle to strike first, killing Jose and Erik in a shocking act of violence. The trial that followed was marked by a sabotaged defense and a devastating revelation about Erik's past.
