The compelling story of Vickie's struggle to succeed, despite a misguided upbringing in Compton, CA. Vickie plays various characters from her troubled past, while weaving interviews with today's teenagers through her story, taking us on a rollercoaster ride into the minds of young people, and simultaneously painting a vivid portrait of her own odyssey.

The creative team will include Lighting Design by Chris Dallos and Sound Design by Hillel Meltzer with Producing Mentoring by The Bret Adams Agency.
