Plot
Paul Hegstrom (Ritter) is a seriously disturbed family man who puts his wife and children through physical, mental, and emotional abuse. Drawing what he calls "courage" through a whiskey bottle, he severely beats his wife, Judy (Harley Jane Kozak) until one day his eldest daughter Tammy confronts him. Paul leaves the family home and moves in with his mistress, Beth French (Gibney) but hospitalizes her a short while later following another one of his violent rages. To avoid having to spend time in jail, Paul is forced to get psychological help to be able to overcome his problems.
