Passing Strange, says the Hollywood Reporter.
The story follows an ugly ducking woman who is persuaded by her husband's family to have major cosmetic surgery. When the couple move to the Carolinas, the woman embarks on an affair with their black yardman with dire consequences.
MacLeod is said to have been inspired by many elements from her life, which included a stint as a model and living in North Carolina.
