Emma Fernández lost her daughter in a school shooting in which a man with an assault weapon killed eleven children and their teacher plus the security guard. She copes with her loss by committing herself to the mission of getting Congress to ban assault weapons. She testifies before a House committee to support a bill that would ban such weapons she joins two national organizations with gun-control missions and she participates in a major demonstration in Washington to end gun violence. But Congress does nothing and in the meantime there are almost two mass shootings per day in America. Finally she devises a monstrous plot to get Congress to do something.
