In the early ’80s, Lucia has carved out a reputation as a lawyer when a woman in a courtroom is a rarity. Rachel, a teenager, is fascinated by the possibilities Lucia represents. But a moment of violence brings their unconventional friendship to a crossroads. This is a look at the bonds we forge with women who aren’t our family, how we shape each other… and how we make a difference.
