The Act

June 14, 2015, small town in Missouri. A worried woman calls the police because she saw a scary Facebook post from her neighbors, but they didn't answer the phone or answer the door. Seven years ago, after being hit by Hurricane Katrina, mom Dee Dee and her sick daughter Gypsy Rose moved into a new home built for them by a charity. The family immediately aroused the sympathy of others, because the girl cannot get out of a wheelchair, and she has a whole bunch of incurable diseases - from muscular dystrophy to an allergy to sugar. And how can one not sympathize with a mother who sacrificed her life to care for her daughter?
