Cama Hayes, a 21-year-old woman with brown hair, standing at five feet six inches, believed nothing could prevent her from enjoying life. Residing with her parents, Jaylen and Candy, and her 19-year-old brother, Kayden, she felt secure in her familial environment. One evening, Cama received an invitation to a house party hosted by her longtime friend Bobby, with whom she had shared a friendship since the first grade. Kayden, sensing the potential for trouble, inquired if she would like him to accompany her. Cama, confident in her safety, declined his offer—a decision she would come to regret. After dinner, Cama drove to the party, a farewell gathering for Bobby, who was preparing to move from Tampa to Miami to attend college. The festivities were joyous, filled with laughter and camaraderie. At one point, Bobby invited Cama to see his pool room, an area of the house situated near the back door. Though she felt a sudden unease, she reminded herself of their long-standing friendship and dismissed her fears. Upon entering the pool room, Cama encountered four of Bobby's high school football teammates: Jimmy, Charlie, Sam, and Colby. Her initial unease transformed into palpable fear. She expressed her discomfort to Bobby, stating, "I don't like this," and attempted to leave. However, the situation rapidly deteriorated as Bobby's demeanor changed. Grasping her arm, he menacingly declared, "You're not going anywhere." Colby restrained her from behind while Bobby locked the door. In a horrifying sequence of events, Cama was overpowered and subjected to a brutal assault by Bobby, Jimmy, Charlie, Sam, and Colby. They violated her both sexually and with empty beer bottles, her screams drowned out by the blaring music of the party. The harrowing ordeal lasted for 15 agonizing minutes before her assailants abandoned her in the room and rejoined the party. Injured and traumatized, Cama struggled to dress and made her way out the back door to her car. Enduring a painful 20-minute drive home, she finally reached her house, where she collapsed into Kayden's arms upon entering. Jaylen and Kayden assisted her to a chair, while Candy, overwhelmed with concern, asked, "Honey, what happened?" Through tears, Cama revealed, "Bobby and his friends raped me." Her dogs, Bear, a German Shepherd; Gator, a Belgian Malinois; and Hog, a Dutch Shepherd—instinctively comforted her, with even the family's Alaskan Malamute, Shark, checking on her well-being. Despite her mother's pleas for details, Cama, exhausted and devastated, simply requested, "Please, Mama, I just want to take a shower and go to sleep." Accompanied by Bear, Gator, and Hog, Cama proceeded to cleanse herself of the ordeal, changed into her pajamas, and fell into a troubled sleep with her loyal dogs by her side.
 The following morning, Cama awoke to the enticing aroma of bacon, eggs, and pancakes wafting through the air. Rising from bed, she made her way to the dining room where her mother set a plate of breakfast and a glass of orange juice before her. Kayden, having fed the dogs, took a seat next to Cama. Her father, Jaylen, inquired, "Can you please tell us about what transpired last night?" With a heavy heart, Cama responded, "Bobby betrayed me. He raped me and allowed his friends to do the same. He took me to his pool room, where the assault occurred." Seated nearby, her mother, Candy, asked, "Do you wish to notify the authorities?" Cama replied, "No, we both know the outcome last time someone reported a rape to the police," alluding to her friend Sylvie, who had been raped the previous year. The perpetrators were never apprehended, and Sylvie, unable to endure the tormenting nightmares, tragically ended her life two months later, with her brother Steven discovering her. Kayden then asked, "Well, what do you want to do?" Determined, Cama declared, "I will seek justice on my own, but it must be my endeavor alone. I will take Bear, Gator, and Hog with me. Bobby and his friends are attending Miami Dade College, so I know where to find them." After finishing her breakfast, Cama retreated to her room to pack some clothes and personal hygiene items. She also prepared a separate bag with food and water bowls, along with cans of wet dog food for her pets. Once her bags were loaded into the car, she embraced her parents, brother, and their dog Shark, assuring her mother that she would keep in touch. She and her dogs then embarked in her grey Subaru, setting off towards Miami on a mission of vengeance.
