synopsis
DYSPARE
He tried to break her. Now she's hellbent.
What happens when a person gets pushed past their limits?
For some, they crumble. But for her, a fire has been lit.
Rising above her injuries, drug use and the mental trauma she has endured, she is on a mission -- one fueled by vengeance and only over when justice has been done.
