Plot

In the tumultuous backdrop of 1969 Chicago, where the specter of prison looms over anyone seeking an abortion and birth control is an elusive dream, women are driven to desperate measures, with tragic consequences. When Rose (Cait Cortelyou) and Janice (Cody Horn) encounter a University of Chicago student on the brink of self-destruction due to her unwanted pregnancy, they take a daring leap. They locate a compassionate doctor willing to defy the law and perform a clandestine abortion, saving the young woman's life. This single act ignites a flame of rebellion in Rose and Janice, leading them to establish the Jane Collective, an underground network committed to aiding women in securing safe, albeit illegal, abortions. The Jane Collective, shrouded in secrecy and operating with all the precision of a covert operation, complete with code names and blindfolds, becomes an unlikely beacon of hope for thousands of women. But the mounting risk of discovery by the law casts a long and threatening shadow. As they navigate the labyrinth of secrecy and fear, the question lingers: How long can they evade the relentless pursuit of the police?
