Full-Length, 120 minutes
How can we ever know what anyone else is going through?" Ten years after high school, six former classmates remember–or don’t– the impact they’ve had on each other’s lives. Like any bad high school reunion, there’s moonshine, an acoustic guitar solo, and–of course—crying in the bathroom (“Was our high school secretly a soap opera?”). After all, when it comes to high school, why look back?

After an illegal abortion goes horribly wrong, the two women who lost the most — a soul sister, and a biological sister — must grapple with the aftermath.

What risks do we take to feel normal and loved in the most abnormal of circumstances?

What happens on the fire escape doesn't always stay on the fire escape, and in "the real world", Amy is in a lackluster marriage.
