Leah goes to the DMV to sign over her late grandmother’s car under pressure from her abusive stepfather, while her mother urges her to stay quiet and “not shame the family.” But instead of hiding her bruises, Leah slips detailed documentation of years of abuse into the paperwork, knowing the clerk is a mandated reporter.
