Small Beautiful Hands is a story that explores a married woman's psychological journey through the flashbacks of her childhood assault to her first step toward reclaiming innocence.
A troubled woman walks into deep water to drown herself. Frantically, her husband searches for her and, just as he turns to see her floating body in the water, the image fades to their life together three days earlier.
Susan and Daniel are a fun-loving young couple celebrating their anniversary. Daniel unwittingly delivers Susan to the cottage of her past. Once there, she can no longer escape the flood of her memories, the crush she had on her father's friend, and the terrifying rape.
Memory and reality blur as she re-lives her rape and her attempted suicide. Daniel drags his wife from the lake and resuscitates her. In this moment, Susan must decide to have the courage to trust her husbands love.
