One evening, Lucy’s mother discovers her masturbating to Playgirls. Horrified by Lucy’s sexual, wild behavior, Lucy’s parents “re-home” her in their lab at a local university. There, her father tries to direct her attention toward male chimps and away from human men, but Lucy is intent on finding a man to love her. Fortunately, Lucy’s human sister Heather –furious at her parents’ behavior– sneaks into the lab and helps Lucy escape.

Free from the lab and all alone in the world, Lucy searches for love and employment across America. In 2018, a middle-aged Lucy finds work as a cam girl for a fetish site. After a rough start, she gains a massive following of patrons and becomes the highest earner. Having found a place where she fits in and receives the male attention she has always craved, Lucy is finally happy. One of her most avid patrons –Manny– eventually proposes to her, and against her co-workers’ warnings, Lucy leaves her job to marry him.

The marriage is happy but short-lived, as Lucy’s new mother-in-law forces Manny to send her to a chimp sanctuary in the Gambia. They send her to their secluded island to live out the rest of her life alongside other former lab chimps.


NOTE: Lucy Loves Boys is based on the true story of Lucy, a chimpanzee raised as a girl as a part of a 1970s linguistics study by an American family.

Due to the onset of preeclampsia, May –an eight-months pregnant neurosurgeon– has been placed on bed rest and ordered to ‘do less.’ Her husband Sam juggles his career with keeping his workaholic wife from sneaking into work or making covert phone calls to her staff. He also tries to keep his well-meaning-but-nosy mother BRENDA from making surprise visits. But, as May’s condition worsens, she begins receiving disturbing anonymous emails about Sam and his online activities, which he claims are linked to his controversial articles and research methods. Soon, the truth behind the emails is revealed, plunging Sam and May into a nightmarish world of online vigilantism, articulate fetuses, and legal drama.

Twelve-year-old Cleopatra ‘Patty’ Taylor and her older sister Guinevere have lived with their grandmother, Helen, for the last few years as their mother, Venus, was in jail for having an affair with one of her students. Now that Venus is out of jail, the four Taylor women live together in an uneasy peace at Helen’s house. Venus discovers that her ‘baby’ Patty has ‘become a woman’ in every sense of the word, which means that Patty must partake in a ‘Tent Party’ per the Taylor family’s longstanding tradition. As party preparations unfold, a neighborhood girl goes missing, and Venus’ long-absent sister Antoinette arrives for a visit, both events effectively unbalancing the house and its residents. Each of the Taylor women struggles to keep their desires and demons in check while fighting off ghosts from their pasts and the persistent advances of suitors and stalkers who lurk outside the house day and night. The day of Patty’s party brings chaos and heartbreak, forcing the Taylor women to figure out how to keep their family and themselves together.
