On the ferry, she has an unnerving encounter with a stranger, where she finds herself telling him everything: how she was sexually abused as a child, how the perpetrator now walks free, how the calls and emails from him haven't stopped and she is on the run; how she wants to kill him. The stranger poses a shocking question - if she agrees, he will murder the man who hurt her, with no strings attached. She gives him a name.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn the other side of the country, Mary-Beth receives a phone call from the police: her only son has been murdered.
