Charlotte Byrne (Allison Smith), a smart college student with lots of friends, attends a party where the alcohol flows a little too freely. After having too much to drink, she decides to go home, but a fellow student named Jim (Jay Underwood), whom she danced with, follows Charlotte and takes advantage of her less-than-coherent condition. When she eventually starts telling her peers that she was raped, it only results in dividing the campus between those who believe her and those who do not.

steve d Surprisingly powerful and well told. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I caught this by accident on late-night cable and watched because of Keith Coogan. It's actually a pretty good, little-known film that I would love to see again.
