    Jimmy is married to the abusive Frank, but she's building a nest egg so she can leave. For a year, she's been deaf as a result of one of his beatings. One night, he pushes her over the stairwell, and she ends up in the hospital.

She's goes on the run, with the same cops on her trail, and eventually realizes Frank may not be dead.
