Timothy Woodward Jr. directs this American crime drama starring Bruce Dern and Denise Richards.

As she tries to gain an insight into the causes of such violent behaviour, Dr Taylor considers whether the serial criminal's stay of execution is justified as flashbacks reveal more about Shea's life and the origins of his violent past.
