On December 7, 1993, a gunman named Colin Ferguson opened fire on a crowded commuter train, killing six people and wounding 19 others. Among the victims were Carolyn McCarthy's husband, who was killed, and her son, who was severely wounded. The film follows Carolyn's path as she becomes an outspoken advocate for stricter gun control laws.
After Ferguson's attorney famously announces his intention to use the "black rage" defense at trial, McCarthy is spurred to action. Her lobbying efforts contribute to the passage of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban in 1994. When her local congressman, Dan Frisa, later supports the repeal of the law, McCarthy, with no prior political experience, decides to run against him. She ultimately defeats him in the 1996 election.

On December 7, 1993, a gunman opened fire in a crowded commuter train on Long Island. This fact-based story focuses on the events that swell around Carolyn McCarthy, a woman whose husband is killed and her 26 year old son is severely wounded in the massacre. The result is she is forced out of her comfortable suburban existence and she becomes an out-spoken crusader against assault weapons. The film shifts from her perspective to the mind of the killer and finally to the media frenzy that surrounds both.
