Painter Jenny is a misfit among her athletic siblings. Wondering if her artistic side comes from her biological father, Donor 142, Jenny goes in search of answers and finds a half sister through the Donor Sibling Register. Not all expectations are fulfilled, but what's unanticipated proves edifying. Franklin sometimes forces the drama but effectively captures Jenny's complex emotional journey.
