The shadows of the past haunt a woman to deadly effect in this gripping work of psychological suspense. In 1980, Catherine, then a schoolgirl, was kidnapped, raped, and buried alive for a month. More than 20 years later, the threat to the adult Catherine is her unstable husband, Jimmy Gagnon, who`s holding a gun on her and her sickly four-year-old son Nathan. Police sniper Bobby Dodge makes a split-second decision and kills Jimmy before he can pull the trigger. While most agree that Bobby did what he needed to do to save Catherine and Nathan`s lives, others, including Jimmy`s parents, think that Catherine set up Jimmy`s death. As more people begin dying, it becomes apparent the genesis for the present situation is Catherine`s past abduction.
