This story is about twin brothers, Anthony, and Roy Stevens, who were separated at five years old when sent to an orphanage. Roy was adopted by a foster family, while their mother reclaimed Anthony. Anthony suffered abuse as a child; he was tortured and beaten. He was forced to watch Bonanza with his mother, who whistled the theme song to him. That song remained in Anthony's head, and whenever he heard it, he flew into a rage, killing and enjoying it. Anthony has a split personality and two separate sets of memories. He is also a telepath. Roy, in contrast, became a judge. Follow the story as the two brothers reconnect later in life, with dire consequences for one of them.
