In "Story of a Girl," a coming-of-age teen drama that's based on Sara Zarr's best-selling young-adult novel, actress Ryann Shane (from the Cinemax crime series "Banshee") plays Deanna Lambert, a 16-year-old high schooler who's unable to escape her painful past. Three years earlier, a secretly recorded video of her having sex with an older boy was maliciously leaked out onto the internet. Now Deanna walks the halls of her high school alone, branded as the school slut.
