Frank Morrison's son lives with his mother and his new stepfather, but when the young lad starts to tell Frank that his new dad is not the up standing member of the community that he appears to be, he decides to investigate. What Frank discovers is beyond his wildest nightmares and soon he finds himself in a desperate race to save his son and bring the boy's stepfather to justice. Domestic disturbance is a competent thriller drama, helped by a typically charismatic performance from John Travolta.
