Woman 99

In late 19th-century San Francisco, socialite Charlotte Smith has the world at her feet, but when her parents commit her older sister Phoebe to Goldengrove Asylum for what would now be considered bipolar disorder, Charlotte is determined to set her free. While pretending to visit relatives in Newport, Charlotte fakes a suicide attempt and gets herself committed to Goldengrove. Naïvely, she believes that she will find Phoebe and explain that neither she nor Phoebe are insane, and both will walk away unharmed. It's not that simple; Charlotte realizes she's not the only sane woman in Goldengrove; many of the inmates are there because they are inconvenient to their families. It occurs to Charlotte that she must do more than rescue Phoebe—she must rescue all the women who don't belong there by exposing the practices at Goldengrove. First, she has to get out.
