Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Monica (Roma Downey) is assigned to help mayoral candidate Carrie Carver (Sheila Kelly) make an important--and possibly life-altering--decision about friendship. When her college friend Bill (Erich Anderson) is arrested on a charge of sexual misconduct with a minor, Carrie wonders if she should make a public statement in defense of Bill, or keep her distance lest she damage her political career. As it happens, the only way to "save" Bill is for Carrie to tell a lie...and in the final analysis, Monica can do little but stand aside and allow Carrie to follow the dictates of her own heart.
