Christy Logan discovers that she has been hiding a dark secret. What starts off as curiosity soon
has her spiraling out of control as she realizes that what she wants out of life is to be an
exhibitionist. It is a lifestyle choice that goes against everything that is expected of her by
society, and she struggles with a desperate need to reconcile the role she plays in life, that of a
wife and mother, with her hidden identity. Out of desperation to feel fulfilled, she turns to the
internet and finds that not only are there others out there like her, but there are those who are
willing to meet with her to mutually enact their hidden fantasies. Christy is sucked into the seedy
and sometimes dangerous world of meeting up with strangers to take sexual risks in public. And
although she is finally living the life she believes should be hers, she is wracked with guilt for
her lies and for the double life she has created apart from her family.
KELLY RYAN proves she is not just another pretty face. Accepting the role of "Christy Logan"
gave her an opportunity to portray a woman wracked with human despair, major insecurities, and
desperate lifestyle struggles.
"As soon as I read the script I knew I wanted to play the character. There were so many levels to
"Christy" that I wanted the chance to immerse myself in the dark side of her life. And it's so rare
an intense woman's role comes along." says Kelly. When you meet Kelly in person you realize
this gritty role showcases her ability to become almost unrecognizable. Delving deep into the
psyche of "Christy" is a testament to how seriously she takes her craft.
The movie TURN AROUND is a woman's story of her struggles
and desperation of life's choices. After seeing KELLY RYAN
create such a believable character, you find yourself looking
forward to seeing who she becomes in her next juicy role.
