Evocative and provocative, this unusual family drama traces the twists and turns in the life of Ray, a troubled teenager, who has come to the realization that she isn't meant to be a girl.
Against all odds, Ray takes the decision to make the transition from female to male, by having a sex change operation. However, this life-altering decision has a tremendous impact not just on him, but everyone in his family. In order to be able to undergo the series of procedures he needs legal consent from both his parents. Consequently, his single mother, Maggie, must track down Ray's biological father to get his legal consent to allow Ray's transition.
Dolly, Ray's lesbian grandmother, is having a hard time accepting that she now has a grandson. They must each confront their own identities and learn to embrace change and their strength as a family in order to ultimately find acceptance and understanding.
