Promising Young Woman

Plots: An unexpected encounter gives a wickedly smart and cunning woman a chance to right the wrongs from her past. Cassie, an emotionally-scarred medical-school dropout pushing 30, 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: at night she visits 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, kind former 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? Nothing in Cassie’s life is what it appears to be: she’s wickedly smart, and tantalizingly cunning, and she’s living a secret nocturnal double life. Then one night, an unexpected encounter is about to give Cassie a chance to right the wrongs from the past.
