Suspended police captain Drew Sanders is a foul creature with police badge tattoos on each bicep who looks as though he belongs in a Deep South trailer park. He is also a wife beater. Drew’s wife Emma is his opposite; a lab technician/scientist at the Center for Disease Control.
Bruised and permanently battered, Emma’s determined to end the vicious cycle despite Drew’s day-after promises to stop using and abusing. Dangling at the end of her frayed rope, Emma eventually brings home a special treat from work for “Dear Hubby” – in the form of a white powder he thinks is cocaine. Naked on their bed, the only thing she wears is a bump across her stomach and Drew can’t resist, the last in a long line of his mistakes.
