JACK

Union, Georgia. 1971. Jack feels out of place in her hometown and in her own body. She would rather live as a boy. But acceptance - or even tolerance - doesn't exist in Union, or within her family. Everyone wants her to live their way, not hers. When Jack attempts suicide following her mother's death, Jack's sister Emma has her committed to Meadow Field Psychiatric Hospital, where they continue to try and change her, convince her she's wrong. In this most unlikely place, among the most unlikely friends and unspeakable fear, Jack learns that all acts have consequences, some things cannot be changed, and love isn't defined by the body it comes in.
