  emerging from a script by hayley schore & roshan sethi, with revisions by nagy, that made the black list, call jane is set during the summer of 1968, which sees protests rock the democratic national convention.
  
  against this backdrop, we follow joy griffin (banks), a housewife and mother who experiences a life-threatening pregnancy that no doctor will allow her to terminate. after finding herself out of options, with little time to lose, joy discovers a network of women who facilitate safe abortions for women in need—no questions asked.
  
  the group’s kindness and courage end up saving joy’s life, while igniting a new sense of purpose in her: to help other women gain control of their destinies. the network’s leader, virginia (weaver), takes joy under her wing, and despite the risks they face in this pre-roe v. wade era, they hatch a plan to expand the network to provide safe abortions for all women who need them, regardless of their ability to pay.
  
  ın the film, messina will play joy’s loving and sympathetic husband will. a promising criminal litigator, will lives his life by the book.
  
  smith will play dean, a doctor with an air of roguish confidence, who works with victoria to perform abortions for women in need. he’s a distant, private man for obvious reasons, but has more to hide than the fact that he does illegal procedures — he’s not even a real doctor. dean finds himself consistently impressed with the women who step up to help more than he ever could.
  
  turturro will play sister mike, a nun and key member of the janes, who works with the other women to build their network. sister mike’s focus is on women and girls who struggle with the idea of getting an abortion, for religious reasons.
  
  mosaku is portraying gwen, an early ally of joy’s and someone on whom joy and the team depend.
  
  finally, there’s edwards, who will portray joy’s daughter, charlotte. a typical 13-year-old girl coming of age in the 1960s, charlotte is whip smart, funny, thoughtful, and mature. she begins to notice her mom’s strange behavior after joy loses her baby, and begins to wonder if something nefarious is going on. when she discovers joy’s involvement with the janes, she’s initially hurt, wishing her mother would focus on her. but eventually, she realizes that the cause is much greater than any individual and supports her.
