She will be his, or else. Plenty of antagonism that he can not deal with gracefully. He sees Jess as a replica of his late wife Lynn, and he is particular about who is around his young son John. Jessie's dad is convinced the newspapers and the PI he's hired are correct in the assumption that Jessie is spreading her favors around town. What no one suspects is the evil plotting going on to destroy Jessica to bring her under a malevolent thumb.
Fixation is emotional and poignant.
The fabulous plot moves quickly with a lot of hidden agendas and conflict to keep you hooked. When the tabloids publish lies about her provided by a rejected suitor, her reputation is destroyed. Moreover, as a child she was sexually assaulted. Believing the papers, Edward Simon fears his daughter's flamboyant sexual escapades are a result of her childhood experiences. He asks his friend Grady Bowman to try to help her.
