Spoiler-Free Synopsis

Read MoreCollapse

Glossy thriller in which a woman who has been subjected to constant abuse by her control-crazy husband fakes her own death and changes her identity. Her husband soon realises that his wife is alive and traces her back to her home town, where he subjects her to a campaign of psychological terror before the final deadly showdown, Laura Burney is the wife of rich investment counsellor, Martin. Martin appreciates his wife as a trophy, but at home he abuses her for not keeping the house as clean as he would like it. The verbal abuse descends into physical violence --so much so that Laura decides to disappear rather than live a life under Martin as a brutalized slave. Laura fakes her own death by drowning, and relocates to Cedar Falls, Iowa, where she changes her name to Sara Waters.
