In a Catholic reformatory in 1914, four teen girls undergo a profound conversion experience when they are exposed to birth control materials distributed by women’s rights activist, Margaret Sangar.

In a Catholic reformatory in 1914, three teenage girls (Anne, Theresa, and Lucy) pass the time with games of truth or dare and playful rituals, though they’re innocent of the “sinful” nature of their act. Then a new girl, Joan, shows up, bearing illegal contraband: birth control materials distributed by the women’s-rights activist Margaret Sanger (The founder of Planned Parenthood). Thus begins a the decent into a fantasy world created in the four walls of their bedroom.

The girls begin reading the material and jokingly pretend to venerate Sanger as a saint, but unexpectedly undergo a profound conversion experience. They begin to follow Sanger’s life in the newspaper and develop a ‘game’ that blurs the lines of what is real and what is not. The girls slide deeper and deeper into their fantasy world, to the extent that objects from their imaginations start appearing in the real one—including a baby.
