Plot summary
Trish Weir is eighteen and planning a future that includes secretarial school when a man forces her into the back seat of his sedan after she steps off the late bus. He drives her into the desert, ties her hands and rapes her at knifepoint. She arrives home hours later, and her sister Ann drives her to a doctor before dawn. Their mother Zeola speaks of lost purity and urges her to stay silent, saying the police will never believe her. Trish goes to the station anyway, determined to keep the man from attacking anyone else, while Zeola interrupts as she tries to give her account. A week later she returns to work at the cinema, where Jimmy, the projectionist, avoids her.
