Behind the facade of a perfect suburban life lies an insufferable secret nightmare: the wife and children are subjected to the husband/father's unpredictable temper and violent outbursts. Fearing for their safety and perhaps their lives, the frightened mother and her children make their daring escape, assuming new identities and going underground to hide from their tormentor. However, their refuge from danger is only temporary; to be truly free from fear, they must bravely come out of the shadows and confront their enemy face-to-face.
