Synopsis
A documentary that uses a mix of archival footage, animation and survivor interviews to tell the harrowing story of two teenagers who were assaulted and left to die in a burning house. One of the victims, Tyler Pleke, survived. His physical recovery from the horrific attack was difficult, but his greatest challenge was learning to forgive.
