Hillary’s Story
The Cherry Sisters were known as the worst act in vaudeville. BUT when they take a newspaper to court, their case sets precedent for freedom of the press.

Tina’s Story
Gregory Nathan Peterson made a name for himself as a prominent Utah GOP fundraiser. BUT when he’s accused of sexual assault he takes matters into his own hands.
