Paul, a young teenager who has just arrived in the big city, watches, transfixed by her. Wye belongs to a “ballroom community” of voguing queer minority youth. As their love story blossoms, Paul discovers Wye is trans. Crisis occurs and he is forced to confront his own identity and what it means to belong.
