|---|
Karen's life turns into a nightmare when her teenage daughter is viciously raped and murdered. To make things even worst, the rapist/killer is set loose on a technicality, leaving him free to strike again (potentially at Karen's younger daughter, who's just a kid). Unable to find rest, Karen decides to take the law into her own hands - she trains in self-defense, gets a gun, etc. Then, after sending her sympathetic husband and remaining daughter out of town, she breaks into the killer's apartment and leaves evidence that she was there, hoping that he will come to her home and try to kill her. There, she'll be waiting for him for what will be a final showdown between them.
