What follows is a wonderful and intense story, as we watch Cate grow and become stronger, even when she starts receiving scary phone calls as her ordeal is not over. When Cate’s mother, an actress, is released from jail, Cate avoids her like the plague, as she hates her mother who would do anything to get publicity, including using the media to fake plead apologies to her daughter.
