Official Synopsis

Woman's Story is a mature film, with a compelling and provocative story, that explores the contradictions and fragility of a relationship undermined by society's redefinition of who we are as human beings. Erin Gray turns in a commanding, award-worthy performance with a portrayal that is disarming in its reality. Kent McCord portrays a man in profound conflict, reflecting the best and worst in all of us. Gary Conway's performance as artist/attorney, David Merritt, will invoke people to question their own unchallenged truths. Marshall Borden brings depth, style and humanity to his role of the inspired playwright.
