Animal Control

BILLIE-MAY is trapped in an abusive marriage with animal control officer LUKE SHARPTON. When Luke physically harms their nine-year-old daughter, ELLIE, for the first time, Billie-May finally resolves to leave home, no matter what the cost. Luke guesses her intentions. He tries to foil her by taking the few hundred dollars she's managed to save up, but Billie-May takes Ellie and they set out anyway in her beat-up car. To avoid being spotted by Luke or his buddies, Billie-May keeps clear of the main highways, but her plan backfires when her car breaks down in the worst possible place: a deserted road miles from the nearest township. Mother and daughter continue on foot, only to find themselves chased by a pack of feral dogs that have already made several deadly attacks in the local area. Billie-May and Ellie are forced to take refuge in a large, abandoned farmhouse as the dogs -- and Luke and his posse of hunters -- close in.
