It was the story that broke a nation's heart. On the ice, Sheldon Kennedy was a multi-talented hockey player who had made it to the NHL. But Kennedy had paid a terrible price. He had been abused by his hockey coach from age 14 - 19. This film examines those years, how it happened, why Sheldon did not disclose the abuse, how he struggled to cope and how he finally exposed - and prosecuted his former coach. We see the dangers of sexual abuse and how pedophiles use their authority and control to take advantage of children.
