SYNOPSIS

At the Ventura Youth Correctional Facility, where the state of California houses its most violent female juvenile offenders, a small plot of land is used for weekly Native American sweat lodge ceremonies. This intense ritual draws a varied group of prisoners – girls venturing deep into their souls to resolve their pasts.
