In The Demolisher, Bruce is a repairman tormented by a crippling sense of responsibility for his disabled wife Samantha, an ex-policewoman. Bruce’s increasing hypersensitivity to the injustice suffered by his wife, steer him down a dark path of vigilantism. His disintegrating mental health, paranoia and overwhelming sense of doom, causes Bruce to channel his rage towards a young woman.
