.45 (2006)

A story of how obsession, addiction and abuse leads a young woman to execute an elaborate plan of revenge. Kate and her brutish boyfriend Big Al sell handguns on the streets of New York. She’s smart, stylish, and self-confident, but all that leaves her when Al, in a jealous and self-indulgent rage, beats her. Three friends encourage her recovery: Vic, a woman who would like to be Kate’s lover;  and, Liz, the counselor assigned to Kate from a battered-women’s program.
