Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Domestic Disturbance
A boy doesn't like the man who marries his mom. One night, the boy sneaks out. He stows away in his step-dad's SUV. While hiding, he sees his step-dad murder a man. He tells the cops, but they don't believe him and there's no evidence. The boy's real dad believes him, starts investigating and discovers that the killer is a criminal. The step-dad tries to kill the dad, but fails. The boy's mom discovers the truth and they try to leave, but the man stops them. The dad shows up just in time to save his son and ex-wife.
