Burned by War. Cooled by Hope.
Ugly Lies the Bone plunges into the raw, gut-wrenching reality of Jess—a soldier scarred by war, both in body and spirit—returning to a home that feels foreign and fractured. Besieged by visible and silent scars and the relentless throb of survival, Jess turns to an experimental virtual reality therapy as an escape from her painful struggles. But healing isn’t simple. As she faces the ghosts of her past, estranged family, and her own shattered sense of self, Jess fights fiercely for a future where hope and connection still seem possible. Lindsey Ferrentino’s unflinching play exposes the brutal cost of war and the fragile, fierce courage it takes to rebuild a life.
