The three days leading up to Victoria’s graduation bring the abusive relationship with her mother into sharp focus. Tension between the two grows as Victoria applies to college despite her mother's wishes and the truth behind Victoria's absent father is revealed. The final showdown between the two brings more revelations and an opportunity for Victoria to fight for her independence. And maybe even a chance to see her father in a new light. Abuse, both verbal and physical, is a sensitive topic. But one that is especially important for writers Lexi Cowling and Melody McLaurin, and lead, Noelle Cameron. With a majority female cast and crew, Dear Tori sought to explore this abusive story and help others in similar real world situations to find their own strength.
