the accident.Her old
buddy, Leo is the detective assigned to investigate the hit-and-run
case.When the victim
is identified as high school baseball star Bobby Garcia, Debra ends

reporter's respect for her mother.While donating blood for Bobby, Debra's arms reveal the scars
from a teenage suicide attempt.As evidence starts to point in her direction, Debra turns to
her mother for help but is instead criticized.Feeling she has no other choice, she again considers suicide
