Grace Under Pressure

Synopsis:

Grace Jones cannot say ‘no’.  We meet her when she feels compelled to take on the needs and the traumas of virtually everybody in her life simultaneously.

This requires that she be in more than one place at the one time.

Something has to give, and we find ourselves asking:  Is this the definition of a true hero?  A people-pleaser?
