A forthright, true as life story of delinquent parents; a daughter who got into trouble and desperately sought the way out.

Depending on the release presentation, the movie includes an animation of conception, filmed vaginal and caesarian section births, and a filmed presentation on how syphilis and gonorrhea present themselves.
