In Lindsey Ferrentino's bold new drama Ugly Lies the Bone, combat veteran Jess returns to her home in Florida after three tours in Afghanistan, carrying deep emotional and physical scars. On her road to recovery, she tries a new experimental video game therapy, which provides temporary relief from her excruciating pain. But can a virtual universe really help Jess come to terms with the permanently altered reality of her hometown, her relationships and her dreams? The New York Times calls this "A bracing drama that confronts an achingly topical issue with hardheaded honesty and admirable compassion."
