Toni Stroud had a lifelong dream of becoming a police officer. As a rookie, she was under close scrutiny, yet passed all of her evaluations with flying colors. And then the nightmare began.
Toni was raped in her own home by Charlie, one of her fellow police officers. At first, Toni was reluctant to report him. But after other women came forward with similar experiences, Toni began her courageous journey not only against Charlie, but the corrupt police force clinging to "the blue wall of silence."
Former colleagues who were her friends and supporters now turned on her. But there was one supportive internal affairs officer and a decent district attorney that wanted to expose widespread malfeasance and mendacity within the police force.
Despite a sluggish pace, the performances were excellent in telling this important story. Times have certainly changed since the film was made in 1994. Yet the drama is still an important one in demonstrating how the wheels of justice may turn in favor of the truth, especially with a courageous figure like Toni Stroud.
