[edit] Plot
Emma (Rachael Leigh Cook) is a 15-year-old girl who was raised by her grandfather, Clayton Hayes (George C. Scott). She wants to know about her mother Angie Baker (Ally Sheedy), who abandoned her when she was a baby. She decides to go visit her mother.
While there, she meets a man named Ray Wilcox (Don Diamont) who is attracted to her the minute he meets her. He keeps complimenting her until one night she goes out to dinner with him. He gives her too much champagne, then takes her to an abandoned room and rapes her.
This results in Emma becoming pregnant. She tells her grandfather, who threatens to murder Ray. Then Ray starts to stalk her, which in turn ends up making her go into labor. Ray sues for sole custody of the baby; he wins the case, but Clayton kidnaps the baby.
After becoming a fugitive, the police arrive at Emma's house along with Ray to get the baby. Emma tells them she doesn't have the baby and after persistent questioning and threatening from Ray, they leave. Clayton is assisted by various friends while on the run, including a minister.
Clayton is forced to come out of hiding and seek a hospital when the baby's ever-declining health causes him to stop breathing. He is eventually found and Emma wins the custody fight on appeal and Clayton is granted custody of the baby. Ray comes back and tries to talk to Angie but Clayton interferes and sends him away. The end of the movie is Angie, Clayton, and Emma living together and taking care of the baby and Emma going to school.
