Out drinking one night after a fight with her boyfriend, three men brutally rape Sarah Tobias in a bar while people watch and cheer. District Attorney Kathryn Murphy takes the case; however, she allows the rapists to receive a mild sentence. A distraught Sarah decides to seek punishment for the men who witnessed and encouraged the rape. To get justice, Sarah must take the stand and revisit the night of her attack.
A crowded, neon-lit bar becomes a site of chilling complicity when bystanders cheer instead of intervening during a brutal assault. This courtroom battle shifts the focus from the crime itself to the terrifying responsibility of those who simply stood by and watched.
