In the TV movie Story of a Girl, a sex video of 13-year-old Deanna and Tommy (Tyler Johnston) goes viral. Years later, 16-year-old Deanna still struggles with the fallout of the video including the disappointment from her father. Directed by actress Kyra Sedgwick with appearances by her husband Kevin Bacon (who plays the pizza place owner) and daughter Sosie Bacon (Stacy), Story of a Girl is based on the novel of the same title by Sara Zarr.

Story of a Girl premieres on Lifetime on Sunday, July 23 at 8pm.
