If beauty is skin deep -- what happens when we change the skin?

'Skinned' is a character-driven drama about a young lady whose insecurities about her skin color, misconception about beauty, and search for romance cause her to bleach her skin beyond recognition in an attempt to capture the heart of the perfect suitor--that instead endangers her health. Fast-forward 10 to 15 years later: she is a beautiful model with a wonderful husband, but she discovers that she has developed complications because of the chemicals found in certain skin-bleaching creams. To make matters worse, her husband discovers her damaging little secret. Now, with assistance from a psychiatrist, Jolie must look back to her past to face her demons in an effort to sustain her present and ensure that she has a future.
