- Synopsis:
An affluent neighbourhood has been besieged with violence. Emily (Sally Struthers) and Joe Cates (David Ackroyd) are concerned for their safety. Joe's job working for an airline has him away from home more often than not, and their young daughter Diana has seen two strange men lurking outside their house. After getting a dog and deciding this still is not enough protection, Emily and her friend Marcie (Belita Moreno) take a gun class to learn how to shoot. When Joe is out of town and two intruders break into their home, Emily is brutally violated. After a struggle she grabs her gun and shoots one of her attackers in the back. But the nightmare isn't over..... The police find no proof that Emily was attacked, nor do they find any evidence of excessive force. As a result, Emily is arrested and charged with murder, targeted as an example to other gun owners by politically ambitious DA Lance Kessler (Jeffrey Tambor). - Actors:
