Violet is forced into a marriage with Edgar, a wealthy but abusive lawyer, to secure her mother's financial future. Trapped in a cycle of emotional and physical abuse, Violet finds unexpected support in Ivan, her driver. After discovering Edgar paid Ivan to spy on her, Violet gathers evidence of the abuse and leaves both her husband and mother to start a new life of independence.
Get it together.
All those people out there are waiting for you.
You're getting married. That's final.
It's not what I want.
You set this up. Please don't make me marry him.
That man is wealthy and successful.
He'll take care of us. That's what matters.
Now wipe those tears away and get out there.
That's enough.
We don't need my law partners to think you're a drunk.
You barely fit in that wedding dress as it is.
Remember, you're Ms. Edgar Johnson.
You need to look perfect.
Hey, hey!
Edgar here is one of the top lawyers at our law firm.
You hooked a good one, my dear.
You are one lucky girl.
Is everything all right?
She's just so happy.
Right, darling?
Exactly.
I told you. I like it black.
I'm sorry. I'll fix it.
Useless.
I was thinking of actually going back to work.
I really miss the art studio.
Don't be silly. Your job is wife now.
You will be a homemaker and eventually you'll be a stay-at-home mom for Edgar Jr.
Besides, painting is for babies and broke hipsters.
My driver will take you to the store.
I'm in the mood for chicken. Have it ready when I get back.
Hi, I'm your driver, Ivan.
Violet, I really wish I could have driven myself.
That's okay, miss. I'll keep you safe.
I wish.
What?
Nothing.
Do you mind if I take this call?
Not at all.
Hi.
Violet, look where I am. Edgar's letting me stay in his rental property on the beach.
That's great.
Are you being good to him?
I'm trying really hard, okay? Nothing's working. He's so cold and so judgmental.
Men are moody. Maybe you should try being a better wife.
I guess.
Listen to me. You'll stay with him, have a few babies, we'll be set for life.
Do you hear me? You're staying with him no matter what.
Yeah, I hear you.
Perfect. Ta-ta!
Please don't say anything about this conversation.
I wouldn't. But just so you know, Edgar does have cameras all around the house. He's always watching.
I figured. He always seemed to be one step ahead.
But if you do need someone to talk to privately, I'm a really good listener.
What's with that makeup all over your face? You look like a sideshow act.
I wanted to look nice for dinner.
This is horrible. And this chicken looks dry.
No, it's not. It's not.
Forget this. I'm going to meet my partners at the bar. Make sure this place is spotless before I get back.
Pull the car around in five.
Hey, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't treat you that way.
The whole staff can hear him screaming. You don't deserve to live like this.
And I think you look beautiful. Not just today.
I mean, you carry yourself like someone who used to be happy.
Ivan! Bring the car around.
Keep pressure on. I'll be back to check on you.
Thank you.
I thought I told you to give this up.
And here I thought you would be slaving away, making up for that atrocious dinner.
Or possibly making me lunch for tomorrow.
A worthless wife.
And clearly talentless.
In the trash where you belong!
I can't believe you did that to you. I'm so sorry, Violet.
This isn't what I pictured for my life.
Of course not. He should never lay his hand on you.
I did save this for you. I wasn't going to. I wasn't sure if it was my place.
I'm glad you did.
You can't let good art go to waste. He's wrong, you know. You're very talented.
That's it.
Thank you so much, but I can't let Edgar see this.
I can keep it safe if you'd like.
You know, you're the only one in this world that I can trust.
What would I do if he weren't here?
Mom!
What is a married woman doing with another man?
No, no.
It's not what it looks like. He was just comfortable.
I've heard you were falling short of your wifely duties, but this? You're lounging around.
Mom, no. I'm hurt, Mom.
Well, if you'd listened to your husband, that wouldn't have happened.
I know, Edgar. He didn't mean that.
I get that he's sending you money, but this is a new low for you.
Get out!
You ungrateful child. You better not mess this up for us.
Do you know how hard I tried to get you noticed by that man?
You know, I wish you hadn't. Because I hate it here.
Violet! Violet!
I can't stay here.
I can take you wherever you need.
We can leave tonight, once he's asleep.
But I'm scared.
I know. I would be too.
But look, the moment you stand up for yourself is the moment your life finally begins.
You're right.
Whatever you decide, you won't do it alone.
Promise.
Well, if the spoiled girl won't listen, then I'll make sure I'm on the right side of things.
What are you doing?
You too?
Behind my back?
But you are mine.
She wants to leave, Edgar. You're not going to keep her in there.
And I won't let you.
He's not who you think he is.
I paid him.
What?
I paid him to keep an eye on you.
Why do you think he's always around?
Is that true?
You paid me to stay with you, but I fell for you.
It started off as a job, but then I knew I had to protect you from him.
Because he's not who I thought he was.
I don't belong to you.
And I'm done letting people control my life.
It's time I stand up for myself.
I'm done letting you abuse me in our marriage.
I'm leaving you.
What do you think you're going to do without me?
Who do you think pays for your life? Your mother's life?
It doesn't matter.
All that matters is that I get away from you.
I'm done letting you berate me and laying a finger on me.
You're just a coward.
I will rain on you if you leave.
Do you understand that?
You will have no money, nothing.
I will take it all.
I am the best attorney in the state.
Do you really think you can get away from me so easily?
Then you are dumber than I thought.
Dumb?
I'm not so dumb now, am I?
How do you think your love partners are going to react when they see you abusing your wife?
Huh?
Where'd you get that?
Sometimes being underestimated is a huge advantage.
Violet, wait.
I swear, I didn't tell him anything.
What we had was real.
I believe you, but I need time to find myself.
I'll be here when you're ready.
Thank you for standing up for me.
I still think Edgar needs to get what he deserves.
He will.
See?
I sent this to everyone in his network, even the police.
Let's see his divorce lawyers stand up for him.
Well, let me give you a ride then.
Where to, miss?
To a new life.
One that's just for me.
