Robby (Michael Welch, Twilight) and his best friend since childhood, Ricky (Michelle Hendley), a gorgeous transgender girl, have never dated. Lamenting the lack of eligible bachelors, Ricky considers dating a girl. In walks Francesca (Alex Turshen), a beautiful young debutante waiting for her Marine fiance to return from the war. Ricky and Francesca strike up a friendship, and maybe a little more, which forces Robby to face his true feelings for Ricky. This is a sex\/human positive modern fable and identification with its story crosses all gender and sexual orientation lines.\n\nReview\n\nFunny and touching! --Hollywood Reporter\n\nThis transgender tale is one near-constant and winning surprise... with deep charm and human insight... --Film Journal\n\nThe film has got an undeniable spirit all its own.
