A story of moral ambiguity, Bad Seed covers familiar territory during the opening scene. A young wife (Emily) forces a confrontation with her husband (Preston) to confess her adulterous affair with another man (Jonathan). Shocked, humiliated and betrayed by the admission, Preston leaves the house in a rage. Unfortunately when he returns to work things out, he finds Emily lying in a pool of her own blood on the living room floor, dead. What ensues is a tightly wound tale of dual revenge.
