Ginny (Antonia Gentry) and Georgia Miller (Brianne Howey) are a mother-daughter duo and the newest residents of a seemingly quiet New England town. But, this story is so much more than your typical parenting melodrama. It is a story of contemplation, race, and of course skeletons? Thats right, by the end of the first episode it is revealed that Georgia has so major skeletons in her closet!
Half of the series is dedicated to Ginny, a biracial 15 year old girl to a white mother and a Black father. Through life’s twist and turns, Ginny dives into understanding her own identity.

We are exposed to chunks of the secret life Georgia lives, only to be revealed in pieces throughout the series. Stream Ginny & Georgia on Netflix!
