Promising Young Woman

Cassie, an emotionally scarred medical school dropout pushing thirty, knows firsthand that some wounds never heal. But time and life wait for no one; defined by a hideous crime involving a bosom friend, the once-brilliant student is still treading water. However, Cassie thinks she has found the perfect way to cope with the painful past. So, at night, she visits the local bars as a vulnerable punisher on the prowl for all sorts of nocturnal predators and wolves in sheep's clothing. After all, the hunted sometimes becomes the hunter. And then, kindly old classmate Ryan enters the picture; he's the bee's knees, and he knows it. Now Cassie wants out. But everyone knows that breaking bad habits is easier said than done. Could Ryan be the one? Has luck finally smiled upon the promising wild thing?
