The film follows trailblazers fighting to change the system: doctors, lawyers, scientists, influencers and a pharma entrepreneur who dared to bring a so-called "female Viagra" to market. While Viagra and over 20 medications for male sexual dysfunction sailed through approval in months, the work to get a drug specifically targeting female sexual satisfaction stretched over a decade, facing excessive restrictions and public vilification despite addressing a condition affecting millions of women.
