Plot

Madeleine, rendered mute after being sexually assaulted as a youth, accepts a lift from a wealthy and sadistic pimp who soon enslaves her into his prostitution racket. Despite her limited means, Madeleine embarks on a bloody road to revenge against her captors.

The aftermath of a horrific encounter with a paedophilic sadist has left Madeleine mute, but her ordeal isn't over yet. When she crosses paths with a handsome stranger in a flashy sports car, his seemingly-innocent offer of a lift leads Madeleine into a nightmarish life of abuse and drug addiction. Forced into prostitution, she has no choice but to fight to stay alive, and when her evil pimp's cruel scheme comes to light, a deadly sawed-off double-barrelled shotgun enters the picture, setting the stage for an irrevocable course of sweet vengeance and a bloody, roaring rampage of revenge. No one will ever try to harm Madeleine again. Never again.
