Harry Dodge, Silas Howard , Stanya Kahn, Carina Gia,

This fiercely innovative butch and trans buddy film chronicles three weeks in the life of a handsome, gender-bending, small-town trans man with a nagging messiah complex. Emotionally defeated after the death of his father, Shy (Silas Howard) heads to the big city to sink himself into a “life of crime.” He is quickly distracted by Valentine (Harry Dodge), a deliriously expressive, wiseacre adoptee on a misguided search for his birth mother. A gorgeous antiauthoritarian tale of friendship, trust, and redemption—shot on location in the Bay Area.
