Heather Matarazzo

NOTES A 15 year old girl with learning difficulties remains quiet after

she has been sexually abused (with an object, I won't go into

detail) by a group of football players at her school. Her silence results from her loneliness and desire to fit in. When the abuse is uncovered Ally Sheedy and Eric Stolz play a detective and prosecutor respectively trying to bring the men to court.

The film is set in Glen Ridge, New Jersey and presumably

with Glen Ridge in the title this is where the actual events took place.
