Plagued by sexual abuse, mental illness and self-destruction, Marian's story is a cautionary tale of hope, broken dreams, and shattered endings. Through a combination of concert footage, photographs, and interviews with key people in Marian's life, director Lilly Ayers pieces together the portrait of a fragmented and damaged girl who was left to fend for herself in a world of danger and exploitation.
