    Contains spoilers.

    This tells the story of a girl who goes to a party she was suppost to be raped up stairs so the police is involved.

    She says that she can't remember with what actually happened she says she only knows parts of it.

    Jason who was suppost to of raped her ...( read more)was suppost to of gave her a drug so she didn't know what had happened lots of people said that he raped her but they didn't have much evidence so they weren't sure if they were telling the truth or not.

    Then all photos of her gets posted all over the internet showing photos of that 15 year old girl.

    Children copy it onto their mobile phones and show it in class the 15 year old girl sees it all and gets upset and runs out of the classroom the children just giggles and makes fun that she took it to the police.She tried to explain to them that her parents forced her do it but the children wouldn't listen the children kept on about it and she become quite angry.

    One day Jason tries to hits her when she gets out of the car and her father notticed and started to beat him up and said to leave my daughter alone and don't go near her again.

    Next thing the 15 year old girl had gone and they started looking for her and started to get worried she was hiding because she was upset with what happened but her dad found her and tried to calm her down and make her happy.

    The police then got a video of what happened with the 15 year olds father and Jason.
    The police goes to the 15 year olds house and asks her questions and told her to tell her father that they want him she gets him and asks what for and they say that they got a video of him hitting Jason and asks questions she tries to explain that he didn't and wasn't there and started to lie.

    They told her you are not going to get out of it by lieing and started to get very upset about it.Her father then tried to tell her that everyone thought he was bad when he was younger and tried to calm her down.

    Then the police came and they went to court they found out that how Jason died was because the little girls mother got violent to him when he was near a bridge and he fell in the water and it himself on something.

    The police said to them that we are not going to make any arrests this soon so go home they told them and the family were happy with the police.

    The acting was done pretty good just it had a few weaker parts the acting itself wasn't materpiece but it was very good and you could tell that they put alot of effort in with the acting.

    The main thing that did suffer with the acting was sometimes the voices was done a bit too quietly well it didn't actually suffer badly but it did get weaker but it was still good and I'm happy to see good acting in a film.

    The story was done very well the only problem was the begining and end was a bit too slow and did suffer a bit it was really slow and it didn't go into a story that much straight away and the ending I don't think was done in enough detail maybe more detail was needed right at the begining of the movie and right at the end of the movie maybe a much better twist and a faster storyline maybe more of a emotional storyline could of been added right at the begining or end too.

    As it goes for the story and acting it was done about average well none of it was done badly but there were ways how they could of improved it some of the scenes they showed may be forgetable but there were many scenes that were showed that will stick into your head too well overall the film was done better than average not a masterpiece but this movie was still done very good emotional in parts it had some charming parts some serious parts and a few funny parts and some scenes that were just interesting this movie was a mixed and it made you feel happy in parts and it also made you sad in other parts so this had happy scenes and sad scenes.

    Overall this film was done well so I'm deffinitly reccomending this movie.

    It is a wonderful movie and story. I had read the book a couple months ago, an I loved it. And now I also love the movie.

    It doesn't do the book justice, however, working with a budget and a short runtime frame, there was no way all of the book would have been included in this movie. It was a good attempt at the shortened version of the story.. a little melodramatic a times, but I didn't mind it.

    A very powerful tale about the impact of selfish lies, and that how even lies told with the best intentions can have dire consequences. Very much worth watching.

    Great movie. I love Lifetime movies like this. This movie was really interesting. During the whole movie I didn't know who to believe. I was surprised when I saw the ending.

    I never knew they made this into a film, until now. I have to read the book before I actually check this out, but it sounds interesting enough.
