Talk Talk

Summary:
She is young, beautiful, petite, deaf, and truly won’t put up with anything. When Dana runs a stop sign one morning, she falls into the clutches of the justice system, which accuses her of crimes she never committed. It takes days for it to come to light that Dana has become a victim of a con artist who has been using her credit card, writing checks in her name, and has stolen her entire identity. After enduring humiliating days in jail and losing her job, Dana has only one goal left: to find this wretched fraudster who is living lavishly at her expense. The fight begins!
