After graduating near the top of his class he enrolled at USC. John's high school sweetheart enrolled down the road at UCLA. They married after college. In San Francisco, John created a very lucrative consulting firm, which helped him become nationally known for his infomercials, self-help books and corporate seminars. He is living the American dream with his gorgeous wife, two beautiful daughters, a son and a lavish lifestyle. However, entrepreneurial success, fame and a solid family life are not enough. John needs much more to stimulate his internal needs. Over the years his obsession with power has spiraled into absolute dominion. The only way to satisfy his appetite is to lead parallel lives. This comes easily because of his high intelligence, personable demeanor and disposable income.
