Kill Another Day: Treatment/Synopsis
As far as Carrie Ann Rath is concerned, whoever said, “shit happens,” didn’t know the half of it. First, she arrives at the camera store she manages and discovers that her employee, Jennifer Baldwin, attempted suicide the night before. At Jennifer’s apartment, she locks horns with Eloise. the mysterious woman taking care of Jennifer. Then she learns that Jennifer’s depression stems from the sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of her father, Michael Baldwin.
Now Carrie Ann is pissed. After venting her frustration with her friend Lucy, she invites Baldwin to her home. That night she seduces him, tying him to her bed and working him into a fever pitch. Only then does she confront him about Jennifer’s abuse before stabbing him to death.
For Carrie Ann, justice has been served. This, after all, is her mission in life: to punish men who sexually abuse their daughters. But the next day, a dignified black man named Morgan Bane enters the store and inquires about Baldwin’s whereabouts. It doesn’t take long for Carrie Ann to decide that Bane, too, has to go. But things go wrong when Bane, running out of the room after thwarting Carrie Ann’s murder attempt, spills the contents of a nearby refrigerator and stumbles over Baldwin’s severed head.
Bane escapes, but he leaves behind his jacket and the digital camera tucked inside. Downloading the images, Carrie Ann sees that Bane himself a serial killer who ritually poses his victims as part of a ritual. If that isn’t enough, his last victim was Carrie Ann’s friend, Lucy.
Now’s she’s really pissed.
Dealing with Bane, however, will have to wait. Suzanne, Carrie Ann’s younger sister, is staying at Carrie Ann’s house for a few days. Suzanne seems to have a hidden agenda; she keeps bringing up their father, the man who sexually abused Carrie Ann as a child. In a heated moment, Carrie Ann reminds Suzanne of the pact they made years ago: to never see or talk to their father again.
Things get worse. Carrie Ann’s beloved cat disappears and shows up dismembered in a box. A detective shows up, asking about Baldwin’s disappearance. Bane calls and tells her he wants to save her, whatever the hell that means. Jennifer is upset because her father is missing, and a suspicious Eloise accuses Carrie Ann of having something to do with it.
The shit really hits the fan when Suzanne confesses that she called their father a few days before in an attempt to get the three of them back together. Enraged, Carrie Ann orders Suzanne out of the house, but when she stumbles home drunk a few hours later, she discovers that Suzanne has been kidnapped by Bane. Stricken with guilt for causing what she believes is Suzanne’s death, she prepares what may be her final act of vengeance: to lure Bane to her house and make him pay for what he’s done.
