Promising Young Woman
Thirty-three and a victim of a horrible crime, Cassie is an emotionally wounded medical school dropout. Cassie knows from personal experience that not all wounds heal. Cassie, who lives with her parents and works at a coffee shop, has discovered the best way to cope with her painful past. Cassie, dressed to kill at night, frequents local bars and clubs, presuming she is drunk, helpless, and vulnerable. Every week Cassie, a lethal beauty, is out on the lookout for nocturnal predators as well as other sheep-skin wolves. Sometimes, it’s the hunter who can end up becoming the prey. Ryan, an old, kind, caring classmate, steps in and Cassie is ready to go. It is not easy to break bad habits, but everyone knows this. Ryan could be Ryan? –Nick Riganas
