RUNAWAY is an intelligent Hitchcockian, psychological  thriller which follows the story of two brothers as they run from a tortured past toward a self-created future.  If you were abused by your father as a child, how would you prevent your younger brother from becoming his next victim?  That's the bewildering dilemma that befalls 21-year-old Michael Adler (Aaron Stanford seen in the films THE HILLS HAVE EYES and X-MEN 3), the protagonist of RUNAWAY.  Fleeing his home with his young brother Dylan (Zack Savage) in tow, Michael holes up in a trailer park-like motel in the middle of nowhere. He supports them both by working as a gas station/convenience store worker and plants the seeds of a future life by befriending his boss, Mo (Peter Gerety), and his flirtatious coworker, Carly (Robin Tunney seen in T.V. series PRISON BREAK).  But this second chance comes at a heartbreaking price. The duo's tortured existence takes a suspenseful turn when Michael continues to call the one remaining link to his past: his therapist (Terry Kinney).
