The film tells the story of Cindy Lowry (played by Joanna Kerns), a mother who is devastated when her 24-year-old son is hit by a drunk driver and left in a critical condition. Despite the doctor's dismal prognosis, Cindy refuses to give up hope and vows to seek justice for her son.
As the investigation unfolds, Cindy discovers that the drunk driver responsible for her son's accident is a wealthy businessman named John McCrane (John Shea) who has a history of drunk driving. Despite Cindy's efforts, McCrane receives a lenient sentence, as he has used his influence and wealth to manipulate the justice system.
Determined to make McCrane pay for his actions, Cindy joins forces with a tenacious prosecutor named Angela (Mariska Hargitay), and together they fight to bring McCrane to justice.
The film is based on a true story and was praised for its powerful message about the dangers of drunk driving and the importance of seeking justice for victims and their families. Joanna Kerns' performance as the grieving mother earned critical acclaim and was nominated for a Prism Award.
