The Feature

SYNOPSIS

20 years behind bars, Peg Rives argues to her parole board that she’s a changed woman.  A former drug-addicted sex worker with a violent streak, Peg can now point with pride to her faith, sobriety, and exceptional skills in the prison kitchen. But good behavior alone can't clinch Peg’s release.  She must prove that someone on the outside has her back. The only person Peg can turn to is her estranged daughter, Dorian, now a school teacher and mother of two. Dorian’s heart is deeply scarred and after an abortive meeting, she rebuffs her mother’s outreach.   But their painful past holds their present in a death grip.  Mother and daughter must now own their shared history and unlock, together, the 20-year-old secret that could throw open the door to freedom.

There are the people and this is the battlefield we have chosen to depict in ORDER MY STEPS.
