I Did it For You

Description

The Push meets We Need to Talk About Kevin. A suspenseful, heart-wrenching thriller that asks: if you could test your son for a gene that predicts violence, would you do it? It explores the consequences of your answer.

If you could test your son for a gene that predicts violence, would you do it?

Antonia and Bea are sisters, and doting mothers to their sons. But that is where their similarities end.

Antonia had her son tested to make sure he didn't possess the "violent" M gene.

Bea refuses to let her son take the test. His life should not be determined by a positive or negative result.

These women will go to any length to protect their sons.

But one of them is hiding a monster.

And there will be fatal consequences for everybody.
