A brutal, nihilistic descent into trauma and vengeance that uses reverse chronology to interrogate the futility of justice and the dehumanizing cycle of violence.

A woman’s lover and her ex-boyfriend take justice into their own hands after she becomes the victim of a rapist. Because some acts can’t be undone. Because man is an animal. Because the desire for vengeance is a natural impulse. Because most crimes remain unpunished.
