Cancer stricken Laurel Hester was a police woman in the New Jersey shore town of Point Pleasant, New Jersey when she was stricken with lung cancer. At the time of her diagnosis, she fought for her pension to be given to her partner/longtime companion/wife Staci Andree. The documentary shows the woman's battle for life and to help her partner obtain a sum of about $13,000 which isn't much but it would be able to maintain their modest New Jersey home. Laurel's fight could be symbolic of many in the battlefield. It's not so much about lesbianism as it is about politics in the garden state that is the most corrupt in the nation. The freeholders was resistant in letting Andree obtain the money probably to pocket themselves. Laurel and Staci's fight went public because it had no other choice.
