But when she agrees to a blind date and the wrong man comes to the door&#8230; her perfect world is shattered by a brutal assault. Even after her attacker, William (SHILOH FERNANDEZ), is convicted and locked away for the crime, Miranda can\u2019t overcome the fear and trauma enough to put her orderly life back together. Desperate for closure, she reaches out to William \u2013 first through letters, then prison visits \u2013 and slowly builds a relationship with him. But when William is paroled and comes looking for her, Miranda seizes the opportunity to exact revenge.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"features\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"*\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviemansguide.com\/images\/main\/bar_blue.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"3\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>SPECIAL FEATURES \u2013 0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This release comes with a matted, title embossed, <strong>slip cover<\/strong>.
