Reviewed by Sandy Costanza D’Youville College, Buffalo, NYThis is a very powerful film that will keep you on the edge of your seat! How far would you go to protect your child? Most of us would like to believe we would take the high road and uphold our personal ethics by following the law and telling the truth, but if you suspected your child murdered her best friend and you had an opportunity to lie, steal or even murder to protect him/her do we really know what we would do? It is a difficult decision and an impossible position for any parent to be making decisions from emotions and fear. Teenagers think differently and what starts out as an innocent lie quickly escalates into a very dangerous situation. This film is captivating—riveting in how the events unfold and completely believable.
