Dead Before Dawn

In a quiet suburb, a determined mother of two finds herself trapped in a marriage that has turned bruising and controlling. Elena (the protagonist) has spent years weathering the pressure of an outwardly successful husband whose temper and domination have left her family’s future hanging by a thread. When she finally summons the courage to file for divorce, the prospect of freedom is shattered by a chilling revelation: her husband has already taken steps to silence her before the courtroom can hear her side.

The stakes become unmistakably lethal when Elena discovers that a professional hitman has been hired to eliminate her, a move driven by her husband’s fear of scandal and loss of reputation. The threat feels both personal and institutional, blurring the line between private abuse and the wider mechanisms of power that protect it. As the danger looms, an unexpected ally emerges—a seasoned FBI agent who had been tracking the assassin’s movements. Their meeting pivots the story from a simple fight for custody to a high‑stakes game of deception and strategy.

Together, Elena and the agent devise a plan that turns her vulnerable position into a weapon against her husband’s web of lies. The film balances gritty realism with a tense, almost thriller‑like atmosphere, underscored by moments of quiet resilience as a mother protects her children while confronting the darkness that threatens to consume her. The tone remains taut and urgent, inviting viewers to wonder how far someone will go to reclaim agency when every legal avenue feels compromised.

Against a backdrop of suburban normalcy cracked by hidden menace, the narrative explores themes of empowerment, betrayal, and the precariousness of truth in a world where appearances can be deadly. The story promises a gripping journey that hinges on courage, ingenuity, and the unsettling question of how far one will go to expose the truth before it’s too late.
