Kerryann Gannon is just 16-years-old when she meets thrice-married Malcolm George Baker.
Uneducated, troubled and 21-years her senior, his charm and smiles cover the dark shadow inflicted by a cruel and sadistic father. Kerryann falls for the façade and in a short space of time he dominates and controls her life.
Alarm bells start ringing for her friends and family as the controlling behaviour quickly escalates into a pattern of psychological and physical violence.
Sensing the danger she is in, and desperately seeking to distance herself, Kerryann leaves and becomes involved with another man.
Baker descends into a jealous rage and comes to a crossroads. The choice between a painful and humbling acceptance of this new reality or indulging an unjustified, insatiable fury that wreaks havoc on a community and leaves a trail of wide ranging destruction.
Bloody Odyssey is a gripping and compelling journey into the boreholes of obsession, violence and mass murder, and exposes a simple and bloody truth: perpetrators of domestic violence are a constant malevolent fog lurking in our civil society.
