A bleak, improvised dramatization of a real suicide that trades exploitation for genuine tragedy, centering on family conflict and the irreversible consequences of generational misunderstanding.

This improvised film is based on the true-life suicide of TV personality Art Linkletter's daughter, Diane. Mr. and Mrs. Linkletter fret about their daughter's recent behaviour, which includes taking drugs and dating a lowlife named Jim. Eventually, the parents confront Diane… with tragic consequences.
