A real estate woman encounters a nasty man. He wants to know where "Lisa" moved and apparently tortures the information out of the woman. Unless you see a repeat, this opening scene is forgotten before it makes any sense...
After the credits roll, we meet successful businesswoman Sherry Stringfield (as Miranda) and her college-bound daughter Jenna Boyd (as Abby). Mother is overprotective. She avoids the Internet and social media like the plague. Soccer moms are popping pills all around her, but Ms. Stringfield shuns drugs. It turns out Stringfield has good reasons for maintaining privacy and leading the straight life. She has a dark past. Seventeen years earlier, Stringfield was a self-described wild child. She's been running away from her sordid past, but Robin Thomas Grossman (as Rick) is hot on Stringfield's tail. "Runaway" is unbelievable and lacks pizazz.
