In 2024 Los Angeles, Margot flees her A-list husband after a sleazy discovery and returns to her childhood home. Here, she uncovers evidence of a vigilante legend – ‘Lady X’ – and a blurred image that might be her own mother. Flashback to 1977 New York, where Ginger and her roommates, frustrated by inaction after a harrowing assault, begin a rebellion under that same alias. What starts as skirmishes of payback snowballs into a movement – and then a crisis when someone is found dead. A gritty dual-timeline story of secrets, feminist rage and resistance, and startling revelations, Fader explores the line between justice and vengeance, and the courage of truth-telling versus the cost of silence.
