Geschichte
Bree Osbourne (Felicity Huffman), a transgender woman living in Los Angeles, has been approved for sex reassignment surgery. Before the procedure, she must first address an unresolved issue from her past: Toby Wilkins (Kevin Zegers), her seventeen-year-old son whom she never knew existed. Toby, now a hustler and thief in New York City, calls Bree and reveals he's alone after his mother's suicide. Bree travels to New York, posing as a Christian social worker, bails Toby out of jail, and decides to take him back to Los Angeles with her. Along their cross-country journey, they encounter various challenges and encounters while Bree attempts to guide Toby towards a better path, aiming to return in time for her scheduled surgery.
