A young woman struggles to ferret out her place in the counterculture of the late 1960s era only to find in 2022 America that everything she holds dear, even her own life, is in jeopardy. Connie Borders refuses to let the changes coming down in 1969 pass her by. Rejecting her parents' outdated lifestyle, Connie leaves Indianapolis for California to stop the Vietnam War and reshape the country into the Woodstock Nation. Her course veers when Carlos, an older university student who is a first-generation, Black Puerto Rican American, persuades her that radical Chicago is where it's at. During a whirlwind of protests and an acid-laced concert, electricity runs between Connie and Carlos. But after witnessing a shooting in the wake of Black Panther Fred Hampton's murder, she is forced to leave Chicago. From the Midwest to Berkeley and back, Connie searches for her place in the fractured movement. She navigates the complexities of friendship and family, of unwanted pregnancy and illegal abortion, and of cultural and political divides, while untangling her desire for Carlos and his hardcore passion for Puerto Rican independence. Taking inspiration from the writings of Margaret Sanger as a positive revolutionary role model, Connie learns to trust her instincts to seek out the whole story-which may not be the whole truth-as she defines who she is, what she thinks, and what happens to her body. Decades later, as a pro-choice activist in Chicago, Connie's questioned convictions put her in chilling danger.
