Sideways for Attention
In September of 2001, Chloe, a college senior at a school in lower Manhattan, tests positive for HIV. Over the weeks that follow, she struggles to deal with her diagnosis, past trauma, and an uncertain future. As her estranged stepfather Doug attempts to reconnect and her classmate Trevor shyly tries to gain her affection, Chloe pulls further away until making a terrifying discovery.
