History Film / NoOneWouldTell

Shy, sixteen-year-old, Stacy Collins (Creator/CandaceCameronBure) can't believe that the most popular guy in school, an attractive athlete named Bobby Tennison (Creator/FredSavage), is interested in her. At first she is flattered by his constant attention, but then he becomes possessive and jealous - telling her who she can speak to, where she can go, and what she can wear. Threats escalate into violence when Bobby thinks Stacy has stepped out of line. Both Stacy's friends and her mother, Laura (Michelle Phillips), try to convince her to break up with Bobby after seeing her bruises and how he treats her. Stacy claims that he only acts that way because she is being stupid, and that Bobby really does love her. Soon, however, she is walking on egg shells and living in fear of him.

Threats escalate into violence when Bobby thinks Stacy has stepped out of line. Both Stacy's friends and her mother, Laura (Michelle Phillips), try to convince her to break up with Bobby after seeing her bruises and how he treats her. Stacy claims that he only acts that way because she is being stupid, and that Bobby really does love her. Soon, however, she is walking on egg shells and living in fear of him. Having seen the tell-tale bruises, Stacy's best friend, Nicki (Heather [=McComb=]), convinces her to break things off with Bobby once again. She does, but in a moment of weakness, Stacy goes to meet him. They get into another argument at Bobby's house, and Stacy storms out. She tells Bobby to take her home, but he drives her to their "special place", the lake, instead. The next day, Stacy is missing. Most people guess that she hitchhiked and was murdered, but Laura suspects that Bobby has something to do with it after she finds Stacy's purse in his room. Nicki is also convinced that he is responsible for Stacy's disappearance and asks Carla (Martha Romo), a witness on the night that she disappeared, for information. Her reluctance to tell what happened frustrates Nicki. Accompanied by Laura, she goes to the police, informing Laura and Detective Anderson how abusive Stacy's relationship with Bobby was. Carla eventually talks to them as well, admitting that Bobby and Vince took Stacy to the lake.

Bobby and Vince are arrested and Bobby blames Stacy's disappearance on Vince, who. when confronted by this lie, admits that Bobby was the one last seen with her and later reveals that Bobby came back alone. Detective Anderson is then convinced Bobby killed her when Stacy ended the relationship and refused to get back together. When he confronts Bobby, [[spoiler: he admits that he slit her throat when she refused to get back together with him and then threw her body in the lake. Stacy's corpse is soon found in the lake's water]] and Laura and Nicki are left in tears. A court trial soon follows with the district attorney asking everyone if they ever saw Bobby hit Stacy. Carla says she did, but that it was because Stacy wouldn't listen to him. Donna says she did, but just thought that if Bobby hit Stacy, she would leave him. Same with Bobby's other friends. Val, Nicki, and her boyfriend expose the abusive ways that Bobby treated Stacy, with Nicki saying how she desperately wanted to out Bobby, but was afraid of losing Stacy's friendship if she were to say what Bobby was doing to her. Bobby is eventually found guilty and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The judge (Sally Jessy Raphael) tells the witnesses to tell someone next time they see a friend being abused instead of standing by and doing nothing, implying how it could have [[spoiler: saved Stacy from ultimately getting killed.]]

Later, a distraught Nicki clears out Stacy's locker and cries as she looks at the pictures of them, remembering their friendship and guiltily wishing that she would have done something sooner to have saved Stacy from Bobby's wrath. The movie ends with Nicki and her boyfriend leaving a bouquet of roses on the sand at the lake in honor of Stacy's memory.
