A domestic thriller built on paranoia and betrayal, where a newlywed woman discovers her husband may be a serial rapist and must expose him before he strikes again.

When Jennifer marries Chris, it seems she can finally let go of her tragic past. But behind the perfect facade lies a violent, possessive dark side--and a past filled with secrets. As she begins to suspect his involvement with a string of rapes, Jennifer sets out to expose the horrifying truth about her husband...before he strikes again.
