Living in the small farming community of Rickerby, twenty-four year old Kimberly Jantzen is a single mother working as a gas station pump jockey while she works her way through nursing school to eke out a better life for herself and her daughter, Lizi. In some circles, she is considered white trash. One night after a few drinks at the local pub, she gets into a physical altercation with Billy, her now ex-boyfriend, their fight and break-up because she caught him cheating on her. At the hospital emergency room to deal with a serious cut to her hand the result of the fight, she is treated by her family physician, Dr. Richard Darian, one of the wealthiest and most respected people in town. However, under heavy sedation which Dr. Darian warns her that she may have hallucinations and/or amnesia, Kimberly is certain that Dr. Darian raped her, she unable to fight him off in her drugged state. Believing she will get no justice going through Rickerby's police, she files charges against Dr. Darian with the metro police. After a physical examination, it is determined that she did have intercourse recently, and semen is found on her panties she provides for DNA testing. In Kimberly's eyes during the subsequent investigation, Dr. Darian is able to manipulate every move to his own benefit, in the process having the town rally around him while they shun her for trying to ruin his good name and reputation. The question becomes how far she will go to regain her soul, regardless of whether those measures will result in the justice for which she is looking.

| User ReviewEmylda BA very well acted drama fact based film on a girl who is sexually assaulted by her doctor. A great cast in this film. A film that is very well done. |
| User ReviewSacha CIt was so powerful! I love it because it shows what life is really like for some people. It's not scary scary. |
| User ReviewChristoffer JGreat story but far from the greatest shooting and acting. Still well worth seeing. |
| User ReviewDeb KBased on the real life Dr. John Schneeberger, a Canadian doctor convicted of using drugs to rape two patients. If you think this Movie was boring and the plot stupid, you are A MORON. Pay attention or leave if it bores you Dammit. |
| User ReviewIan RVery interesting. Good plot. But cheap budget. |
| User ReviewUntoldEuphemism UA good story but predictable and poorly acted so it felt a bit long. Not legally accurate either [no tox screen; case closed but no sentencing]. Very similar tale to the Jodie Foster film, The Accused. Estella Warren, although pretty, has the presence and charm of a wet, ripped paper bag [the kind a wino might use to hold his convenience store booze]. |
| User ReviewEvan Bit was alright it's not my favorite though |
| User ReviewKevin Tlow budget, no doubt direct to video film which could have benefited from tighter direction. There are however some nice pastoral shots and some decent acting. |
| User ReviewIleana AVery similar to "The Accused" with Jody Foster.. but I thought the twists with the DNA testing were riveting. |
| User ReviewChrissy GBasically the film explores how society reacts when a woman from a blue collar background (Warren) accuses a prominent small town doctor (Hannah) of rape. On a larger scale it is also an exploration of problems involved in many rape cases, where the accused is a prominent individual, and the victim becomes not only a victim of her attacker, but of society as a whole. Estella Warren is pretty good as the victim. She's no tiny prey, but a tall, full-bodied, and abrasive young lady. She doesn't know the meaning of the word "simper." She turns into a positive pest, and that's what the role calls for. John Hannah, as the doctor, comes across as not much more than another seasoned actor. He's not bad, but he doesn't bring anything extra to the role. The direction is competent too. There's no confusion about where we are or who's doing what, and no unnecessary displays of directorial razzle dazzle. The story is told without unmerited garnish. |
