    Along with the typical struggles of being raised by a single mother, Eddie Araujo has always kept a secret that sets him apart from his two siblings. Upon entering high school, Eddie embraces his personal reality as a young woman trapped in a man's body. Life changes drastically after he starts going by the name Gwen and dresses in women's clothes. When Gwen starts dating an ex-Marine, tensions mount as disapproval escalates at home and at school.
