Scar Tissue

A searing story about the emotional scars that run deep in all of us and the different and often shocking ways that people find escape, revenge and for some, a glorious second chance. Five people, with different stories and struggles, are forced to face their demons and tormentors and in the end, make choices that forever change their lives. Clyde, a Vietnam vet, finds himself in the final phase of a troubled life filled with disconnection and bad decisions, with little hope in sight. His days are spent alone in his stark apartment with a gun and a single bullet. Through a series of events and serendipitous good fortune, he is given one last chance. Kaylee, a 13-year-old musical prodigy has started classes at a new school and attracted the wrong kind of attention from a group of older, nasty girls. As she struggles with bullying and her parents' crumbling marriage, Kaylee finds escape and peace in her cello and the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Jeremiah, a man whose seemingly perfect life and plans for a family are shattered by his wife’s infidelity and lies, buys a gun and carefully schemes to confront her lover and teach everyone a hard lesson. Claire, the brilliant businesswoman and Wall Street Executive of the Year, with deep emotional scars of abuse, struggles to confront her demons through therapy and escape the sexually destructive path that has taken over her life. And Amy, the 15-year-old bully who sees the world through anger and violence as she copes with a hellish home life and little hope of escape. An unflinching look at trauma and betrayal and the healing powers of hope, connection and beauty. No one can completely escape the hand they’re dealt, but everyone does have a choice – to either change the story or surrender to one's demons.
