Phillip "Bane" Shaw, a native of Scotland, is the arrogant and impetuous owner of Shaw Sound Studios in Hollywood South. Shaw has a thriving business, loyal friends, and a captivating relationship with Bronagh Stewart, a woman with whom he is wholly in love and who altogether completes him; a woman he thought didn't exist. The compelling desire Bronagh and he share, and their seemingly flawless relationship bring about contentment Bane has never known, despite the mildly petulant, ever-present thoughts of the murders he committed in Glasgow years before. Shaw's idyllic life is threatened, not only by the secrets of his past, but also of Bronagh's, when Bronagh's psychopathic ex-husband reenters her life. Will this monster succeed in visiting upon her, again, unimaginable violence?
