Never feeling like she fit in and weighed down by hidden trauma, 18-year-old Cassy tries meth. Her use leads to addiction, estrangement from her family, and involvement in a violent crime. When in prison, she decides to turn her life around, understanding she can’t do it alone. No Matter What is a tender and powerful story of how love, resolve, and trauma-informed therapy lead to recovery and a new way of life.

The film highlights the complexities of supporting a loved one in crisis, a person’s willingness to change, and the transformative power of hope when rare, trauma-informed therapeutic programs are offered in-prison.
