Description
Tommy Baker's grip on his household is tenuous at best. After narrowly escaping prison for an armed robbery gone wrong, he's desperate to find a new way to make money. His wife May knows all too well the depths of his tyranny, but she never expected him to abandon his parental responsibilities in favour of easy cash. As Tommy's plans come to fruition, May finds herself increasingly isolated from her teenage daughters, who seem to be complicit in their father's schemes. As May struggles to come to terms with this new reality, she becomes embroiled in a terrifying situation involving the local crime boss, Sonny Flynn. With her family's safety hanging in the balance, May must confront the harsh truth about Tommy's actions and decide whether to stand up for herself or risk everything to protect those she loves. This gripping true crime story is a heart-stopping exploration of domestic abuse, manipulation, and the devastating consequences of a father's descent into darkness.
