SynopsisWhen Sand's parents discovered her secret gay life by reading her shoebox full of love letters, they kicked her out of the house. Years later, she learned that her mother had passed away from breast cancer, and has stipulated that she not even be allowed at the funeral. Part of the reason Sand's parents were so mad at her was that she didn't chose to tell them her secret themselves - but, she argued, nor had she ever told them that she was straight, that's just what they'd chosen to believe., " I became the pariah. It was my punishment for walking in my truth and being unafraid to love my way. But I can't help but wonder what would have happened...had I denied those feelings...had I kept pretending...had I...stopped being me. " Sand Given all that Sand and Rene have been through, the couple lands an opportunity to share their life story in the upcoming documentary, Beneath My Skin . The question isare they truly ready to take that trip down memory lane?

Recycled through the foster system as early as four, Rene is one who has become accustomed to change. Sand introduces her to another side of love and gives her a reason to open her mind and heart to something newthat is, until Rene finds herself questioning not only their relationship, but her sexuality. A series of events leaves them entangled in a web of deceit, wicked passion, and murder. As their love story unfolds, they'll find out soon enough if they are truly each other's ride or die
