Descent is a 2007 American thriller film directed by Talia Lugacy and starring Rosario Dawson and Chad Faust.
Maya (Dawson) is a college student who is date raped. Struggling to break free of the resulting depression and addiction, as well as the hum-drum existence of folding shirts at the local boutique, Maya seeks out the help of a sociopath she meets, named Adrian (Marcus Patrick) at a dance club. The two lure the former victimizer (Faust) to Maya's place, and exact revenge on the man who raped her. At the end of the film Maya seems to realize her vengeance did not restore her dignity and that she had merely succeeded at bringing all of them to the same hollow existence.
