Film Synopsis

Ten years after her sexual assault, Ashley embarks on a journey towards finding alternate meaning for September 7, 2012 — a day that for too long has been synonymous with her traumatic experience. After years of working through her pain and this process, the question remains — can she attach new memories and meanings to that terrible day? Ashley connects with a group of strangers to hear their stories and share hers, in hopes that their experiences combined can help effect change within.
