The Woman

"Not every monster lives in the wild."

Horror

A lawyer puts his family in jeopardy when he captures the last member of a violent clan and tries to forcibly tame her.

Plot

Raised by wolves, the vulnerable last survivor of a cannibalistic tribe bathes wounded in a river somewhere in the lush woods of Northeast Coast, where she used to roam free. In the eyes of misogynistic lawyer Chris, the naked beast-like savage seems to be the perfect trophy for his home; however, is there a place for a feral, flesh-eating primitive among civilized people? In the following days, bent on domesticating the untamed female by breaking her will, the sadistic man will make the woman his project, as Chris' dysfunctional family struggles to keep the proud predator in captivity. But very soon, no restraints, no training--and, certainly, no male supremacy--will be able to match the raging woman's raw, merciless retaliation. Can they escape from the monster's fury?
