A young woman, seemingly good person but still psychologically disturbed from being kidnapped as a little girl becomes the obvious suspect in a murder. When Allan Grant, a popular college professor is found murdered, the first suspect is Laurie. She is his 21-year-old student. While Laurie's family sets out to prove that she suffers from multiple personality disorder, Allan's wife Karen tries to avenge her husband's death on her own.
Laurie was kidnapped when she was four years old. Her older sister was watching her and they were going to play in the backyard. Laurie didn't listen and she went out into the street in front of their house. Immediately, a Volkswagen van stops and Laurie is put into the van by a man and woman. The adult sisters are at a funeral for their parents and they were killed in a car accident. Laurie has a breakdown in the church and Sarah visits a psychiatrist to discuss Laurie’s mental instability. The source novel was probably condensed to fit the 90 minute time limit? This causes some jumbles in the storyline but I did like this movie 5*.
