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. In “Girl on the Edge,” the Hannah character is portrayed by Taylor Spreitler, star of the ABC Family Channel TV series “Melissa and Joey,” winner of a 2015 People’s Choice Award for “Best Comedy Series on Cable Television.” 

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. Hannah's transition is turbulent, and she refuses to cooperate, until she finds a kindred spirit with its most unlikely patient. 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.

It shows how even the most vulnerable can find the strength to overcome unthinkable tragedies, and pays tribute to the people who dedicate themselves to helping them find that strength."
