The film, which marks singer, actor, writer and Broadway star Billy Porter's ("Pose") directorial debut, is an "uplifting and delightfully mod- ern" story that follows Kelsa (Eva Reign, "Sideways Smile"), a confident, trans high school girl navigating her way through senior year. When Kelsa's classmate Khal (Abubakr Ali, "Katy Keene") starts to fall for her, he musters up the courage to ask her out, regardless of the drama the match may cause. As the pair come together, they experience all the joy, tenderness, pain and excitement that young love can bring.
