The presenter explores different aspects of American life, beginning by meeting girls who are preparing to face time in 'Shock' - the country's only prison boot camp for women, and spends time in a medium security jail to see what they will have to face if they don't succeed.

The host meets TJ, a gay man who is undergoing 'conversion therapy' in an effort to turn himself straight. She spends time with the teenager in a bid to understand his motives, as well as meeting other people going through the same controversial process.

The host follows young South Americans who risk their lives by hiking for five days in ferocious heat to cross illegally into the USA. Stacey also gains unique access to the smuggling operation with the help of a local priest.
