A dark revenge thriller that confronts the brutality of sexual assault and the failure of the justice system, driven by rage and the bond between sisters.

An aspiring avant-garde composer rapes a fashion model. When she takes him to court, she's slut-shamed by the defense and the man is exonerated. But justice will be served.
