Lance, a handsome and athletic first year college student, returns home from a date and his behavior suggests there’s been an issue. Suspecting she knows what the issue is, his mom, Nancy, chooses to further investigate and barges into his room and confirms that her son has again suffered physical abuse at the hands of his girlfriend, Leanne. With a bruised check and deep neck lacerations, Lance shamefully gazes upon his mother’s enraged eyes, as she draws a line in the sand and announces that she’s had enough and for the first time, she’s calling the police. Lance is unwilling to press charges, but Nancy is determined to change his unwillingness, whereas his father, Robert, takes the approach of allowing Lance to come to a change of mind on his own. These two disparate approaches at helping their son leads to heated exchanges, intensifying the family conflict. While Lance wrestles with how to address his on-going domestic violence victimization, input from the local police impacts his decision in a way he never expected.
