Description: As her parent's marriage crumbles, Stacey finds comfort in her loving father, Tom. Until, at age eight, Tom initiates Stacey to a game they must keep between themselves. For the next ten years, Stacey's life is ripped apart by physical and sexual abuse. Feeling hopeless, she takes matters into her own hands by ending the life of her abuser. Redemption takes a dark, disturbing look into a life destroyed before ever having a chance to live. Will an act of clemency get Stacey a new start at life?
