Description

Smack in the middle of America sits Dallas, Texas. Its highways snake around the Bible Belt’s playground. Family, faith, money and power are major players in the lives of its population. Across those highways are woman of all descriptions, working their way through stages of belonging.

 

We follow four - Shelsea, Tatum, Polly and Monica as they navigate the complex facets of being a woman; the delicate balance of ambition, joy, shame, desire and the shapes they bend themselves into to find and keep love. These women, often marginalized by society ,work hard and around the strip clubs at the heart of the city - searching for faith of all kinds. Mothers, daughters, sisters and servants of god, they put their lives on the line; vulnerable & exposed, dancing in these clubs.

 

Strong backs, naked fronts, wild hearts. We are all on the merry-go-around of our lives... when is it time to get off? Only these individuals can decide where they go on the main stage of life.
