Have you ever had a moment where you knew your life changed? A moment where, you looked at what you were doing made a decision and decided to become a different person? Three people in Chicago tell their life changing stories to a camera and then a psychiatrist analyzes all of their life changing events, one by one. In the midst of this documentary another question begs to be asked, why do these people feel so free telling their most intimate stories to people they've never met with a camera? The Stranger Effect investigates.
