Based on a true character and from the award winning horror writer / director of ‘Days of Darkness’ and the producer of the indie horror hit ‘Automaton Transfusion’ comes a cautionary tale that will make you squirm and twist in your swat. With unrelenting suspense and terror, Penance is the tale of a young, demure single mother Amelia (Marieh Delfino), who his upon hard times and decides to take her future into her own hands by taking up the one profession that can promise fast cash for a sexy girl like her – becoming a stripper. Everything is going well until Suzy her stripper friend is beaten up on a job and recruits Amelia to take her place in a high-class strip job that night. Reluctantly Amelia takes the job, only to find that the job isn’t everything that it seems. Driven to a strange location by a dark and mysterious man (Tony Todd) and confronted by grizzled hit man (Michael Rooker), Amelia’s world is turned upside down as a case of a mistaken identity leads her to be taken captive and forced to confront her sins 0 the sins of her mind, body and soul. Her captor (the mind bending Graham Mctavish), is intent on one thing and one thing only – to purify Amelia and the other women in his incarceration. It’s time for them to pay their Penance!
