The Act

Doting mother Dee Dee Blanchard and her sweet daughter Gypsy arrive in a new neighborhood, where Gypsy feels lonely due to a barrage of medical issues and eager to make friends. But their new neighbors can be nosy, and Dee Dee and Gypsy have secrets to hide.

Dee Dee makes Gypsy play dress up for a costume convention, where they each attract charming men who could dangerously complicate their insular relationship. And Gypsy is starting to question the lies her mother tells her — especially about how old she really is.

Gypsy and Nick scheme to meet in person and hope to win Dee Dees approval, but when their plan goes disastrously wrong theyll be pushed to make an extreme choice in order to be together.

Gypsy is excited to start over with Nick in Wisconsin, but their new life doesnt match the happily-ever-after she imagined, and her anxiety worsens as past transgressions begin to catch up with them.
