Uncovered is the story of Leah, a young lesbian who is drawn to the spiritual promises of the ultra-orthodox Hasidim. Hiding her true self, she enters an arranged marriage. The couple raises seven children but when exhausted Leah becomes pregnant again, she feels driven to abort her baby, certain that otherwise she won’t survive.
