Black Girls Talk: True Crime

Stacy Lockwood was your all American girl next door. She was popular, athletic, and a good student, basically every parents dream. Angela Delvecchio could also be described as the kind of teen every parent would hope to raise. She was studious, optimistic, and possessed an unrelenting drive to achieve her goals. On one fateful night the lives of Stacy and Angela collide to catostrophic results. As events unfold we discover how one impulsive decision could alter the lives of not only the two individuals directly involved but the lives of everyone they touched.  Inspired by the true story of Kirsten Costas and Bernadette Protti.
