Synopsis by Clarke Fountain

Nicole is a nurse, with a fiancee doing his military service, who lives at home with her mother. One night, while returning home on her motorcycle, she is forced off the road by four men driving a delivery van, and she is raped. Afterward, she is secretly sent by her family to a hospital to recover. However, she is determined to discover the meaning of this awful event and presses charges against the men, who prove to be very ordinary, and not the monsters she had imagined them to be. This proves to be a sobering, even chilling realization.
