Painted Sharks - Synopsis -
In the summer of 1979, Valerie Shaver is a woman facing the most difficult decision of her young life. The mother of two finds herself trapped in an abusive relationship. Mistakes from her past and the constant threat of violence have her questioning whether to stay with the devil she knows or risk everything to take her babies and run.
How far will a mother go to protect her children?
Carrying the blame for her mother’s pain and feeling the wrath of a father who resents her very existence, Ricki searches for a way out. Together with her younger sister, the two face a dilemma no child should… how to get rid of their father?
The story is reminiscent of “This Boys Life” with Robert De Niro, Ellen Barkin and Leonardo DiCaprio.
