In Alabama 1845, three enslaved women, Anarcha, Betsey and Lucy arrive at the makeshift medical lab of J Marion Sims. What happens over the next four years changes the course of modern medicine and alters the lives of all who enter - for they are forever connected by a silver thread. Based on a true story.
