Description: Talks about the brutality and cowardice that overtakes the city of Niagara Falls in the aftermath of an attack on a woman and her daughter. A dissection of modern mores, this is more than the story of Teena and Bethie, and their insolent assailants. It is also the tale of their silent champion, a man who knows the meaning of justice, and love.
