Trama
Sarah Tobias goes to a local bar and gets heavily intoxicated after an argument with her boyfriend. She engages in provocative behavior that night, which attracts unwanted attention from three men who gang-rape her while patrons watch and cheer. District Attorney Kathryn Murphy takes on Sarah's case but initially allows the rapists to receive mild sentences due to Sarah's own actions being taken into consideration. Distraught, Sarah decides to challenge the lenient sentencing in court by revisiting the night of her attack.
