Storyline
| Plot Summary |
In the aftermath of a horrific encounter with a paedophilic sadist, Madeleine has been rendered mute. But her ordeal isn't over yet. When Madeleine crosses paths with a handsome stranger in a flashy sports car, his seemingly innocent offer for a lift leads to a nightmarish life of abuse and drug addiction. Now, forced into prostitution, Madeleine has no choice but to fight to stay alive. And when her evil pimp's cruel scheme comes to light, a deadly sawed-off double-barrelled shotgun enters the picture, setting the stage for an irrevocable course of sweet vengeance and a bloody roaring rampage of revenge. Then, no one would ever try to harm Madeleine again. Never again. Written by Nick Riganas |
