After witnessing human rights abuses at a detention center for undocumented immigrant children, an idealistic young reporter — already traumatized by what she has seen — is subjected to an onslaught of death threats.

Sam decides to stop pursuing charges against her rapist and spend Thanksgiving alone on her family's Virginia farm. Her brother stages an intervention with seven of Sam’s friends to persuade her to return.
