A Newlywed's Nightmare As a struggling, divorced mother, Anna was barely keeping her family above water. Abandoned by her first husband, the four of them were quickly sinking in the quicksand of life. Then, she met Victor, a real Prince Charming; eternal happiness seemed to be falling into place. The 29-year old was a professional bodybuilder, extremely wealthy, an eligible bachelor, Secret Service Agent, and every woman's dream. Anna and her children were being swept away in a luxurious lifestyle like they had never seen. In no time, Victor bought her a new car, house, and huge diamond ring as he subtly took control of every aspect of their lives. In Hollywood-like fashion, the couple was married in four months and became a real family. Frankly, her life had become too good to be true. However, was it, indeed, too good? When their sacred vows turned violent, her newfound, fairy-tale life quickly became a nightmarish Hell on Earth. As their marriage became a matter of life and death, only two questions remained. How long would Anna selfishly continue to ignore the warning signs? Would the next sadistic statistic of domestic violence be Anna or any of her children?
