Two fascinating cases. The first involves a wealthy gay man, his head bashed in, his car stolen. We get a look at a kind of strata that works in this world. John Irvin recognizes immediately what these ramifications are and Danny and Andy, along with Fancy, are willing to let him become involved. In case two, a rather plain, reserved young woman who works at a veterinary clinic, stays late and is grabbed up by three men. Eventually, she is brought to disgusting apartment and gang raped. Two other men join in. While being moved around, she counts steps and analyzes where she is, since a hood has been wrapped over her face. Her parents provide a sort of sick world but she is an incredibly brave young woman.

Profiles in Courage
naphiah1 December 2022
I've watched this a couple of times, stunned the first and stunned the second.
To say who is courageous and how might give away a bit of plot. Suffice to say, the world is full and lovely because of tiny choices made from hearts mostly unseen and such beauty, nay, courage is wonderfully depicted here with the familiar great acting and writing and that other unnameable something that engenders memorable art.
I will also offer the observation that within each character and even relationship here, one sees the full dynamic of opposites at work and that's a timeless and intelligent portrayal of humanity.
