Interesting film where a girl, who just broke up with her drug addicted boyfriend, goes on the rebound with her mother's best friend's son. She has known the latter since birth.
When she is threatened by the ex-boyfriend and subsequently killed, the immediate suspicion falls on the ex-friend.
Surprise. This is not what the film is about. The murderer turns out to be the friend's son who killed her when she tried to call it quits with him as well.
The story is a good one as it turns into the mother of the boy, who is a police officer herself, hiring a sleazy attorney to defend him in order to get life rather than the death penalty. The film shows how the fellow is rehearsed into giving answers that will show that he is not exactly a monster.
The film is also about the ruination of lives, the destruction of a friendship between the victim's mother and the boy's mother.
Hard to fathom that a woman cop would produce a killer of a son and the girl's mother, a guidance counselor, would have such a forward tramp of a young lady who was really asking for it by her behavior.
Everyone needs to see a counselor as this film with a message ends.
