Plot
In 1984, a young girl named Kristie Elizabeth Nussman walked into the office of the porn agent Jim South searching for a job. She became known as Traci Lords, one of the most sought-after pornstars of the 1980s. However, nobody knew that Nussman was actually Nora Kuzma, a fifteen-year-old runaway who by the time she was eighteen had already appeared in dozens of X-rated films.
