Cries for help from two battered women are the first two calls investigative reporter Carrie Breiter (Amy Pietz "Caroline in the City") answers while working undercover at a women's crisis hotline. Looking to get inside the story of domestic violence, Breiter instead reaches out and gets in the middle of a dangerous situation. The first call is from a battered wife determined to put an end to years of domestic abuse (gail O'Grady, "NYPD Blue") and the second is a young teenager seeking advice on how to handle her new boyfriend's evil nature and psychotic personality. Drawn to the story of domestic abuse for reasons that she traces to her own childhood, Breiter jeopardizes her life to help others; and in so doing, she hopes to save herself from a past that continues to haunt her.
