As filmmaker Andrew Jarecki delves into the world of children's party entertainment, he uncovers a dark truth: one subject's family is shrouded in scandal. David Friedman's father and brother were convicted of child sexual abuse in the 1980s. Through intimate home videos and new interviews, Jarecki masterfully weaves together conflicting accounts from accused abusers, alleged victims, and investigators, raising questions about guilt, innocence, and the blurred lines between truth and deception.
