After years of concealing her true self, Chely Wright emerges as the first openly gay commercial country music artist, challenging cultural norms in Nashville, her conservative family background, and most significantly, her own self-perception.

The documentary explores the damaging effects of internalized homophobia and the empowering impact of embracing one’s true identity. It also captures the varied reactions from Nashville, the heartland, and the LGBT community as Chely Wright faces an uncertain future.
