Synopsis

Four years after the death of her husband, Paal Singh, in a car accident, Harper and her daughter, Megan, kidnap Sebastian (the driver of the other car) who was given a lenient sentence by the court on account of his having Dissociative Identity Disorder.
They enlist the reluctant help of Taran, Harper's stepson, to try Sebastian again and - when he is found guilty - to impose their own sentence. Their plans go awry when, with the aid of his daughter, Lilith, Sebastian is freed. But he doesn't leave. Sebastian and Lilith have other plans for the family who find themselves on trial, and have to endure a night of never ending surprises.
