AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A bloodied examination of abuse, displacement and damaged relationships, Vile hits audiences with its biting dialogue yet offers hope for a second chance.

'Fleeing after a brutal act, Melanie Ryder is still trapped by the life she escaped 10 years earlier. As she slowly reaches into the shadows of her past, she will learn hidden truths and begin to rebuild from within. The complex causes of Mel’s anguish are revealed as we witness her eventual self-acceptance.' (Production summary)
