Because of me

the long version

Ten years after leaving his wife Christine and their five-year-old daughter, Jessica, Kyle Dawson returns home after being released from prison for robbery and drug possession. Sober, with a new outlook on life, and with the help of his friend Trent, he regains the once shattered trust of his daughter. Now fifteen, Jessica cautiously welcomes her father into her life. But she is careful not to reveal to him the dark secrets she harbors; drugs, abuse, and domestic violence are all part of the only life she has ever known. As Kyle starts to ask questions and slowly discovers the cruel world in which he left his daughter, Jessica's already strained relationship with her stepfather, Dennis, is pushed to the edge. As Dennis desperately tries to maintain control over Jessica and her mother, Jessica must trust the man who left her many years before in order to find freedom. Together they struggle to survive a night that could change their lives forever.
