After responding to a distress call concerning a woman being attacked, authorities arrive at a house near the small town of Spindale, North Carolina.

As investigators dig deeper, they discover that Lynn was involved in a tumultuous relationship with another man, Brian Sweeney. The two had met in Alcoholics Anonymous and quickly fell in love, but their relationship was complicated by Brian's ongoing divorce proceedings and his history of violence towards previous partners.
