A woman's attempt to understand the background of her accident and how she deals with the person who caused it.

A man runs over a young couple on a deserted road, then leaves the scene and tries to cover up the incident.

Joanna Kendall must choose between right and wrong when she accidentally hits a young girl with her car. After leaving to call for help, she returns - only to hear the reaction of horrified onlookers, who are outraged that the culprit left the scene of the crime. In a moment of panic and confusion, Joanna makes the life-changing decision to remain silent. The effect snowballs, as this perfect wife and mother must grapple with her guilt, as well as with the female detective who suspects her.

Investigation of a Hit and Run follows two officers as they investigate a hit-and-run accident from initial reports to the questioning of witnesses and the interrogation of the suspect, an eighteen-year-old boy nicknamed Pumpkin, along with his girlfriend and brother. A number of factors complicate the case: the suspect was without a driver's license; he reported the car stolen to cover himself; he could not be persuaded to confess; and the girlfriend is pregnant. The police use considerable pressure on the girl, and treat her eventual statement as though it were a confession.

An accident. An amulet. A missing person or two. Maybe it's best to stop and call an ambulance after you've hit someone with your car late at night on a road in the middle of nowhere.
