Suspended from high school because of her continued lewd outbursts, Skye is forced to undertake therapy – but this isn't the first time. ACTING OUT tells of the experiences of a young woman dealing with issues of intimacy and a fear of relationships as a result of family problems that led to the separation of her parents. It's these issues that drive her to 'act out' as she craves attention from her self-absorbed mother and those around her, yet places a wall between herself and the outside world.
