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).
