Crime + Punishment In Suburbia

No one stays innocent forever.

This contemporary urban fable, loosely based on Dostoyevsky's Crime And Punishment, is a gripping and provocative account of a young woman's attempt to permanently end the advances of her abusive step-father. Starring Monica Keena ("Dawson's Creek"), Vincent Kartheiser (Another Day In Paradise) and James DeBello (American Pie), along with veterans Ellen Barkin (Drop Dead Gorgeous) and Michael Ironside (The Perfect Storm), Crime + Punishment In Suburbia is a deeply affecting and utterly disturbing tale of betrayal and redemption.

Rosanne (Keena) is a cheerleader who dates a football player (DeBello) and gets drunk at parties. But she's also a killer. She convinces her boyfriend to sneak out of a pep rally for a date with destiny, revenge...and the brutal murder of her abusive step-father. But once she's gotten away with murder, Rosanne is shocked to learn that her mother's untimely arrival at the scene of the crime has put her behind bars! Now Rosanne must struggle with her inner demons. Can she do the right thing or will her Mom take the fall for Rosanne's vicious crime?
