She continues home and shuts the car in her garage, where she can see that he is still alive. An arrest and a conviction would end her career, so she does not call for help. She goes out to find her boyfriend, Rashid, and the next morning she tells him about the accident. The two of them return to her house to look at the situation and decide what to do.

- The plot comes from the case of Chante Jawan Mallard, a Texas nursing assistant who got 50 years in prison for murdering Gregory Biggs: driving impaired, she knocked him into her windshield, drove home with him lodged there alive and conscious, and left him to bleed to death without calling for help.
- The film drew criticism for whitewashing, because white actor Mena Suvari, wearing cornrows, plays Brandi, the character based on Chante Jawan Mallard, who was of African American descent.
