A pitch black, wryly British comedy, PREVENGE follows
Ruth, a pregnant woman on a killing spree that’s as
funny as it is vicious. It's her misanthropic unborn baby
dictating Ruth's actions, holding society responsible
for the absence of a father. The child speaks to Ruth
from the womb, coaching her to lure and ultimately kill
her unsuspecting victims. Struggling with her
conscience, loneliness, and a strange strain of prepartum madness, Ruth must ultimately
choose between redemption and destruction at the moment of motherhood.
