At first, the detectives are attempting to catch the man who broke into her apartment and raped her. But, as they continuously press the young woman to repeatedly tell her story—as she's showing clear signs of someone traumatized by the assault—the detectives grow suspicious and eventually coerce a false confession out of her that she made up the assault. She is charged with false reporting, ostracized from friends and family, and made a pariah by local media.
