Synopsis: A violent young criminal and his victim come face to face in this tightly wound study of guilt and redemption. The twist is that Eva, a social worker at an experimental rehabilitation center for young prisoners, is unaware that angry young inmate Ben Graf is the thug who once brutally attacked her and left her with mental scars that may never heal. Scared of eventually being recognized by his victim, Ben is forced to confront the demons driving his aggression and consider feelings of guilt and remorse for very probably the first time in his deeply troubled life.
