Plot Summary: On November 5, 2001, Dr. Andrew Bagby was murdered in a parking lot in western Pennsylvania; the prime suspect, his ex-girlfriend Dr. Shirley Turner, promptly fled the United States for St. John's, Canada, where she announced that she was pregnant with Andrew's child. She named the little boy Zachary.

Filmmaker Kurt Kuenne, Andrew's oldest friend, began making a film for little Zachary as a way for him to get to know the father he'd never meet. But when Shirley Turner was released on bail in Canada and was given custody of Zachary while awaiting extradition to the U.S., the film's focus shifted to Zachary's grandparents, David & Kathleen Bagby, and their desperate efforts to win custody of the boy from the woman they knew had murdered their son.

What happened next, no one could have foreseen...

Knowing the family and the reasons for this movie (and a book written by the father Dance With the Devil) you should see the movie without knowing too much. If you cannot get to LA, or NYC then wait for alternate releases.

I watched this doc last night on MSNBC....I was so moved by the filmmaker and his family. I wish I had been honored to have known Andrew Bagby.

This movie is not only a fantastic film, but it is one of the most moving tributes I have ever seen.

To the director Kurt...my heart goes out to you. What you put on film is a thing of twisted beauty. I am sad it had to be made, but what you have done for the family of your friend is a touching monument.

I hope your film brings attention to the cause the Bagbys have put their weight behind.

Seek this film out...don't look for the answer as to what happened...watch the film as it is meant to be watched. It is told as the filmmaker learned some key facts and those are the terrible truth that make this move so damn important!

Thank you to all involved in this film!
