SYNOPSIS

Young, promising champion gymnast Sunshine is a shoo-in for a slot on the national team—until she finds out she is pregnant the week of the tryouts. With her life-long dream and college scholarship on the line, she contemplates abortion. On her way to a seller of illegal abortion drugs, she meets a mysterious girl who eerily thinks and talks like her. This encounter shakes Sunshine to her core as the girl challenges her choices and pushes her to confront her fears, dreams, and the weight of her decisions.
