not rated, but very adult themed with mild language and violence
The story is that Billie Calhoun, at age 10, was framed for the murder of her single mother and baby sister, and has spent the last 8 years in juvie. She is set to be released early for good behavior, but a cackling, gleefully evil psychiatrist who obviously has some kind of ulterior motive (which is only barely explained later) advises that Billie be kept longer. The prison guards all just *know* Billie is innocent, and they arrange to let her escape so she can discover the truth of what happened. Billie's legal guardian is a local priest (who obviously is played by a man who had auditioned for the handsome-young-cop-role, since the fellow would have had to have been around 13 years old when Billie was 10) and he knows the truth about who killed Billie's mother and sister, but he never mentioned it to her before this time, and when he intends to tell her, he is suddenly murdered. Billie is the one to discover the body and of course she proceeds to touch everything in sight with her bare hands including the murder weapon before she flees, making it seem as if she had been the killer. Soon the cops are hot on her tail, but Billie manages to find a sympathetic handsome-young-cop and he starts up a completely inappropriate romantic relationship with her that is so creepy I started wondering if it should have been counted as a rape. (The girl is completely at his mercy -- she's an escaped convict that he is hiding in his house, and he's a cop. What's she going to do, reject his advances?) Without giving away too much of the ending, Billie and the Cop set out to find the EVIL HEARTLESS MEN who caused all this. Oh, and somehow Billie knows how to drive even though she's spent all her life in juvie.
Dumb writing, but if you're like me and don't exactly watch Lifetime Movies because you expect them to be good, then this is definitely one to see!
