On November 14, 1997, 14-year-old Reena Virk went to a party and never came home. What followed was a decade-long legal marathon that forced a family to relive their daughter's final moments over and over again.

Hear about how teenagers, mad over an address book, ganged up on a 14 year old and left her beaten and bloody and then how two of those same people took it a step further that caused over 10 years of trials.
