An offender on parole looking for his former girlfriend crosses paths with a mild-mannered rooming house caretaker. By the end of the evening, Lisa's father is dead, bludgeoned with an axe, and an unremorseful killer is behind bars. When the parole process unfolds earlier than expected decades later, Lisa realizes she now faces an even greater challenge: the assertion of her rights versus the rights of the man who axed her father to death. Steadfast through all obstacles, Lisa is determined to ensure that her father's voice, through hers, will be heard louder than his killer's.
