"VIGIL" tells the story of a rape victim's quest for justice and
revenge.
Katy O'Malley has not been blessed with a perfect childhood. She
and her mother live in a small trailer park and survive on state
disability benefits. Despite the harrowing situation, Katy manages
to experience the simple joys of being a child, until these, too,
are robbed from her when she falls prey to two teenage boys who
rape her and leave her to die.
Jack Alvarez and his friend Joe Flack, are driving and are both
high on drugs when they see ten-year old Katy and snatch her. They
bring Katy to a corn field where they rape her and leave her for
dead. If not for a boy who sees Katy shortly after her attackers
leave, see would not have survived to track them down and avenge
her tragic fate.
It takes fourteen years before Katy finds Joe, but the
satisfaction of sending him to a slow and painful death is worth
the wait. Four years later, Katy finds Jack, who is now a renowned
detective in the San Francisco police department. One step closer
to fulfillment of her vengeance, Katy begins executing her
carefully laid out plans to destroy him. Her life forever changed.
She begins avenging the brutalities inflicted upon other women.
Once she has started down this path she finds herself drawn into a
world of drugs and adventure.
