    • It’s 1995 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. During a feminist studies class, college student Kristi opens her textbook to discover something that turns her world upside down.
      For as long as she can remember, Kristi has felt different- now she knows why.
      Demanding her medical records, Kristi is finally confronted with the devastating truth: she has been lied to all her life by those she trusted the most.
