Little Red Riding Hood is all grown up and at her grandmother’s death bed is informed of a long lost sister, being torn apart during a nasty custody battle.    Rhonda Hood journeys into the woods again, believing that with the pedophile, Bryan Wolf behind bars the forest is a far safer place, or is it?
