§ Synopsis

After a fraternity party at the University of Florida ends with a rape accusation, the case explodes into national controversy when authorities arrest the accuser instead — despite the existence of a videotape that appears to contradict the official story. As media attention intensifies, prosecutors, activists, students, and the public clash over what really happened inside the fraternity house that night. Through shocking footage and firsthand accounts from those closest to the case, the film exposes the uneasy intersection of sex, power, media spectacle, and institutional self-protection. What emerges is a disturbing portrait of how truth can be shaped, manipulated, and weaponized in the middle of America's culture wars over consent.
