"If you were looking at us, you might have even thought we were friends. Old friends. If my son hadn't raped her daughter."
It could be a morning like any other as Brenda cooks breakfast for her two sons... But eight year-old Jason's refusing to go to school and teenager Matthew is under house arrest upstairs. And Brenda's face is splashed across the cover of every newspaper. For Matthew has committed a horrible crime, and as Brenda fights for him to be sentenced as a child, she learns it's the laws inside the house that matter most: boys can become men, and a mother can at once become victim and monster. How far does a mother's love go, and at what cost to herself?
