Jade, like many girls, grows up investing her self worth in her appearance. But she becomes more critical with every passing day and develops BDD(body dysmorphic disorder) where she looks in the mirror and sees a monster. She descends into a self-destructive abyss of promiscuity, alcohol and heroin and then gets pregnant. In a bid to save her and her baby’s lives, she finds purpose.
