In the Lifetime movie From Straight A’s to XXX, college freshman Miriam Weeks finds herself in a jam. She can’t pay for her $60,000 tuition fees at Duke University. She decides to make quick money by becoming a porn star. Using the pseudonym Belle Knox, she’s encouraged by her manager Don (Judd Nelson). But Miriam/Belle can’t keep her second life a secret. When bullied online and shunned by her conservative family, Miriam tries to stick up for herself and her decision, but her life quickly spirals out of control.
