"The Rebel Girls" is inspired by the true story of the 1960s fight for Civil Rights through the eyes of the girls who reinvigorated the struggling movement through the power of magical thinking, friendship, faith, and fortitude.

A capricious young man, named Sean, struggles to find how to continue with his life after losing his best friend to suicide. During his attempt for closure, Sean finds himself becoming overly-attached to his now-dead best friend's mother. After being romantically-rejected by her, Sean spirals down and finds himself in an ever-lasting manic episode.
