The Grim Sleeper

Tired of their mother's alcoholism and a string of her abusive boyfriends, two sisters plot to kill her.

The story of 16-year-old Kayla Adams, whose mother, Karen is advised by the school’s counselor to send Kayla to get treatment at a youth residential treatment center after she gets expelled from school. Kayla arrives at the Utah facility on the same day as her roommate Amanda, a treatment program veteran who knows exactly what the girls were in for. Led by headmistress Miss Connie, the staff uses draconian methods including force-feeding medications, arbitrary punishments, solitary confinement, verbal and physical abuse to keep the students in line. After being pushed to their limits and stripped of their lifelines, including any ability to freely communicate with the outside world, the two young women must band together to survive and fight to expose the abuse before it’s too late.

High school senior Sonya (Ana Golja) is ready to graduate and start college away from her traditional Romani parents, George (Raoul Bhaneja) and Morgan (Rachel Wilson). Fearing Sonya is straying too far from the Romani way of life, George and Moragn are eager to find a husband for her. When George and Morgan’s community leader, Ian (Noam Jenkins) suggests Sonya marry his son, Alex (Ehren Kassum), George and Morgan decide to share the news of Sonya’s arranged marriage at her 18th birthday party. But their plan quickly backfires when Sonya brings her non-Romani boyfriend, Ray (Eric Osborne), and refuses to marry Alex. Unwilling to be embarrassed by their rebellious daughter, George and Morgan drag Sonya home and lock her in the basement.
