Plot

Julie, a beautiful young bride, has married her childhood sweetheart, but, moments after the ceremony, her beloved is murdered on the steps of the church. Julie becomes obsessed with her bridegroom's death and, after a series of failed suicide attempts, relentlessly pursues the men responsible. One by one she orchestrates their demise, each murder more bone-chilling and diabolically clever than the last. An engrossing, enigmatic detective thriller/revenge flick.
