Short description

When 12-year-old Roxane moves with her family to what appears to be the ideal suburban community, her life is forever changed after a devastating act of sexual violence. As she grapples with the lasting effects of that trauma, Roxane turns to food as a means of survival, beginning a lifelong journey to understand her body, reclaim her voice and confront a society that often defines women by their appearance.
