Long a victim of her violent and alcoholic husband, Rose Mayer decides to choose her own destiny, and kills him by crushing him with their car after leaving prison (for having crushed a girl with the same car).

But freedom does not erase guilt and family stories are not without contradictions. Will Rose find her place in his new life?
