Summaries

  • A teenage girl is traumatized after being assaulted by a stranger from whom she hitched a ride.
  • Andrea, and her boyfriend David miss a bus and decide to hitchhike. They get into a businessman's car. The man drops off David first and insists on driving Andrea to her house, but his demeanor changes as he says they're going for a little ride. When she finally gets home, she pretends nothing is wrong and takes a show. The next day she goes out with a friend, and when the friend tries to hitchhike Andrew breaks down and tells her she was raped while hitchhiking. The friend takes her to the police station, from which she calls her father. Andrea, her family, and David struggle to deal with the rape. David stakes out the area where they were picked up, looking for the car. He eventually gets the plate number and calls the police. Meanwhile, Andrea has started to talk to a woman at the rape hotline that helps her understand the rape was not her fault. Andrea identifies the man in a police lineup. The detective tells Andrea the man has done this to someone else who went to a doctor in time to preserve the physical evidence. Andrea must decide to testify.—Cherise
