Based on a powerful true story, "Girl on the Edge" recounts the journey of Hannah Green, a 15-year-old girl who is victimized by an online predator.

Unable to cope with the resulting trauma, Hannah Green's behavior becomes increasingly self-destructive until her family is left with no choice but to send her to a treatment center for troubled youth.

With the help of her mentors and the horse she's formed a bond with, Hannah realizes painful truths about her past, and begins to face her uncertain future.
