Does this sound like a good idea for a story?
A rich guy who made billions off of some crazy idea during the dot.com boom has an only child. At first everything is great between him and his son but by the son’s mid teens, he somehow falls into the ideas espoused by some crazy radical fundamentalist group in the middle east. He ends up fleeing his home one day and joins the group only to become a terrorist who blew up a municipal building killing thousands of innocent people, including himself.
Years later, after the incident, he divorced his wife. Now, he’s living some fucked up life as a rich retired guy who pays this young guy who looks like his son to meet him at this hotel, where he proceeds to kick his ass. He does this three or four times a week.
Eventually after a while the kid decides to leave but, the guy won’t have it. The kid was actually a desperate drug addict trying to do whatever it took to get his fix. He just happened to run into this guy. But one day he finds a girl who wants to help him straighten his life out.
Essentially, the whole story is told from the kid’s perspective and how he eventually defeats this crazy guy who needs him to be around because he hasn’t met anyone whose come close to looking like his son, the terrorist.
