Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning actress Kyra Sedgwick (Julia Shearer on Another World) makes her directorial debut with the Lifetime movie, Story of a Girl, based on the novel of the same name by Sara Zarr. The film premieres tonight at 8 p.m. ET/PT

When a sex video of 13-year-old Deanna (Ryann Shane) and Tommy (Tyler Johnson) goes viral, her life of carefree innocence is changed forever. Three years later, Deanna is still dealing with the fallout of the video, including being branded the school slut. Ready to move on, Deanna longs to escape a life defined by the mistakes of her past.

Also starring in the cast are Segwick's husband, Kevin Bacon (Tim Werner on Guiding Light, Todd Adamson on Search for Tomorrow), and daughter, Sosie Bacon.
