Trapped in a dysfunctional relationship, a woman seeks refuge on an island in the Northwest.

SYNOPSIS:

On the run from an abusive husband and a violent drug-ridden past, a beautiful woman (Riley) seeks refuge on an island in the Northwest. In debt to drug dealers, her husband (Frank) mysteriously disappears. Befriended by two local eccentrics, Riley begins a bittersweet journey toward a new life -- a journey interrupted by the appearance of the dealers. Determined to settle a score with Frank, they stalk Riley. Their presence provokes an unexpected turn of events and a shocking conclusion. This suspenseful film by writer/director Richard Evans breaks away from today's formulaic Hollywood screenplays to take a provocative, yet even-handed, look at drugs and domestic violence.

"A suspenseful film that flows with beautiful, meaningful images ... Awesome."
Richard Rush, Director "The Stuntman"

"A fascinating mosaic of lives adrift in a sea of memories."
Lewis John Carlino, Writer, Director "The Great Santini"

"Cynthia Campbell...has a face made to be photographed and a gravity that carries
her character through some bizarre twists and turns."
Robert Horton, Film Critic, Arts & Entertainment, Everett Herald

"A provocative look at drugs and domestic violence."
Jason Dittmer, Whidbey Island Center for the Arts

"Moody and haunting, with actors that shine, shine, shine!"
Sue Frause, Whidbey Island Life, >Seattle Post Intelligencer

"Campbell possesses an immutable beauty...natural and lovely even in the tempestuous
ugliness of fighting off a violent, drug-obsessed husband. Dave Draper does an excellent
job of creating a realistic drug addict's angst."
Patricia Duff, Arts & Entertainment, The Record
