Lazarus (Jackson) is a God-fearing ex-blues player whose wife has just upped and left him. One night he finds Ray (Ricci) lying injured in the road near his house, and he takes her in. Discovering that she is a victim of childhood sexual abuse, and something of a nymphomaniac as a result, he decides to try and rid her of her wicked ways.

This movie started off extremely slowly, and took a long time to get going, which it eventually did after about an hour. Despite this, it was still pretty okay, with some nice performances, but there wasn’t really enough energy to keep the movie sustained for the full 2 hours.
