What is 'Dirty Little Secret' all about?

The movie is inspired by true events, following Joanna, a highly functioning nurse with a hoarding disorder. Joanna’s  daughter, Lucy (Lizzie Boys), remains isolated from her peers for years, refusing to let anyone near her house in order to hide her family secret. Meanwhile, Lucy plans her escape to college. Joanna maintains the dysfunction in their home with an obsessive grip, but when tragedy strikes, Lucy must decide if she will hide her mother’s secret, or expose it to the world.

Lucy is in for a shock when she comes home from college to find her mother’s house overflowing with stuff. Her mother is a hoarder, and the house is crammed full of everything from clothes to books to junk mail. Lucy is horrified and disgusted, and she wonders how she didn’t notice this before.
