Two descendants of the infamous 1857 Dred Scott Decision meet in a cafe off the New Jersey turnpike. Jim Taney, a descendant of Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney who penned the opinion, offers an apology from his family to the family of Walter Scott, a descendant of the formerly enslaved Dred Scott. Through a vulnerable conversation about racism in America, Jim awakens to his own ignorance and discovers why an apology alone just won’t cut it. This film is an adaptation of a short play written by Kate Taney Billingsley.

When Dana sees a small dot of light flickering in her uterus in black and white on the ultrasound screen, she has to face facts; she is pregnant. Dana decides to end the pregnancy. On the day of her abortion, Dana meets women who each deal with the procedure in their own way. One is panicked, the other self-assured. Dana does things differently - she wants to study the picture of her embryo. She wants to utter the words "mother" on the day of her abortion. She wants to hear the voice of the partner she's lying to one last time. She wants to experience everything. It is the only way she will be able to get through this day.
