Summary
Roger Dollison (John Shea), a police officer, and his wife Kendra (Pam Dawber) are living the American dream. They have two children, 8-year old Teddy (Brian Bonsall) and 16-year old Sandy (Stephen Dorff), and a lovely home and a dog named Rex. What they know and how they live as a family is irreparably changed one day when it is discovered that a classmate of Teddy's is the apparent victim of sexual abuse at the respected neighborhood daycare center. Like all other parents, the Dollisons are tormented: "we should have known, we should have seen," but their devastation is complete when Teddy tells his own story, one he promised his abusers he would never tell.
