Synopsis
An ex-con’s fury threatens three troubled women in this gripping work of suspense. Ralph Fisher holds his former wife fully responsible for the year he spent in prison, although it was his brutal abuse of her that landed him there. Newly released, Ralph coerces his ex-wife’s new Dayton, Ohio, address from her friend, Gracie, before strangling her, and then heads off to claim his revenge. Then lonely, lost Jamie meets a marvelous guy in a bar who persuades her to join him on a journey to Ohio. Meanwhile, two single mothers in Dayton attempt to forget past troubles and get on with their lives, unaware of the danger bearing down on them.
