On March 3, 1989, a man wearing a ski mask entered Debbie Smith's home in Williamsburg, Virginia, and threatened her with a gun. He then dragged her into the woods and blindfolded her, before raping her repeatedly over the next hour. She participated in the collection of DNA evidence for a sexual assault evidence kit, but it was not formally tested and entered into the national criminal database until 1994. The film follows Debbie's fight for justice.
