Alyssa(2022)

She wants it all before it's too late

Alyssa is a fifteen-year-old girl whose behavioral problems at school mask a devastating secret: she's losing her sight and will soon be completely blind. When the truth finally emerges, Alyssa makes a defiant choice to live intensely while she still can, abandoning her education to chase quick money and dreams of escaping to a big city. Her mother responds by denying the reality of their situation, hoping the problem will somehow resolve itself. As Alyssa pursues her reckless path, teenage fantasy collides with harsh truth, and her mother's strategy of avoidance pushes their family toward crisis. The series follows their struggle as they grapple with disability, denial, and the painful gap between what Alyssa wants and what her changing future actually holds.
