Hooked on steroids and unable to control his bursts of sudden rage, a police officer keeps his wife under his thumb and routinely abuses her behind the closed doors of their house.

When Donna Yaklich meets police officer Dennis, she thinks she might have found a good relationship. But Dennis is obsessed with weight-lifting and uses steroids, which make him aggressive and abusive. Getting out of the relationship isn't easy, as Dennis isn't willing to let Donna go and her options are narrowed down to one remaining alternative.—Lars Skogan
