Synopsis

Eric is living happily with his girlfriend and her young daughter, while running a motorcycle repair shop. This peaceful life is completely torn apart when a stranger named Henry visits, and dark secrets from his past begin to threaten the family. Can we really be free of our past? We might have changed, but for some, past misdemeanors continue to haunt us like shadows. In Stereo, one man's penitence leads to scenes of full blooded action: not for the faint-hearted.
