Storyline

In Cocoa Beach FL, a woman shows up drunk on the same lawn on the same date three years running. What's going on? She's Sherry McGrale, a singer building a reputation on college campuses, especially for her signature song about having been raped. A rock magazine in L.A. takes notice, and writer Owen Richardson recognizes her: his older brother orchestrated the assault and involved him. Owen heads for Florida, ostensibly to do a piece on her, but in reality to try to put his own demons to rest. Wounds from the event are ruining Sherry and Owen's current relationships. Is there any prospect of healing? A judge, Sherry's manager, and a widow with young kids provide supporting arms. Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

A great film.
23 September 2001 | by See all my reviews

I loved the music, I loved the acting, I loved the whole thing. It's very disturbing and not an easy film to watch, but I felt a sense of relief that a film finally tackled a subject that affects most women I know. Hats off to everyone who made this, and if you get a chance to see it- by all means do. It's really kind of extraordinary and simple at the same time.
