"The Truth About Jane is the story of a mother's struggle to come to terms with her teenage daughter's announcement that she is a lesbian. Fifteen-year-old Jane (Ellen Muth) lives the quintessential suburban life with her parents, Janice (Stockard Channing) and Robert (James Naughton), and younger brother Brad (Kacy Clark). Janice and Jane are incredibly close and honest with each other. Despite being popular, Jane has always felt somewhat different from her peers. When she befriends female transfer student Taylor (Alicia Lagano) during her first year of high school, Jane feels a connection that she's never had with any of her other friends. When it is revealed that Jane's relationship with Taylor is of a romantic nature, it is Janice--whose best friend Jimmy (RuPaul Charles) is gay--who refuses to adhere to the 'live and let live' credo when it comes to her own daughter. Finally realizing the gravity of her actions, Janice makes every attempt to come to terms with the situation before it is too late and the relationship with her daughter is lost forever." -- Viewer's guide.
