Leo's life changed 4 years ago when his younger sister was brutally murdered. His family is destroyed and his mother becomes psychotic. Leo's mother blames him and beats him. In a sudden loss of sanity, Leo drives around, sees a girl and decides to abduct and murder her. The evening they spend together changes both of their lives. At once, horrifying and touching.
