在这部一桩复仇案的解剖片中,本影片根据一个真实事件改编。1998年夏天，一位名叫Matthew Shepard的同性恋大学生被两名患有恐同症(同性恋恐惧症，homophobic)的男孩无情杀害。这部影片将再次让我们思考关于歧视及暴力的问题。
Fact-based drama centering on the brutal 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard, an openly homosexual college student in Wyoming, by two homophobic, trouble-making teens and their co-conspirator girlfriends which prompted an outcry of support for the Shepard family and tougher hate-crime laws by liberal activists, but also support for Matthew's killers by religious leaders and homophobic activists.
