This is a true story of a group of young men who rape several young women in their home over a period of years and the emotional damage they cause these young girls for the rest of their lives. All of the girls were minors who the young men enticed into a home where the parents were gone and only a young boy brother knew about what was going on. Years later the grown boy hears a song by one of the girls who was raped and befriends her without telling her he knew of her rape and was too young to do anything about it. The story has other surprises and keeps your interest, although it is hard to watch, so you have to have a strong constitution. Even though the film doesn't show everything, just hearing the screams of the young women is enough to make you emotionally upset, to say the least. It's worth watching, if you can deal with the theme, to learn about the life-long emotional damage done to these teenage girls. One of the rapists, played by Eric Stoltz, is caught and imprisoned. Don Cheadle, Rosanna Arquette.
