It was a violent crime that shook a quiet Canadian town: Mysterious intruders break into the home of Vietnamese immigrants, seemingly at random, and leave a traumatized daughter as the only witness. Neighbors and friends describe the family as hospitable, generous, and hard-working – how could they be targets? This feature-length documentary from director Jenny Popplewell (American Murder: The Family Next Door) uses police interrogation footage and testimony from those involved to unravel a web of complexities that no one saw coming.
