 Synopsis:
Bree is a highly educated, conservative, transsexual woman
who passes as a G.G. (a genetic girl), living in a poor
section of Los Angeles and working two jobs to save money
for her final sexual reassignment surgery. When she
receives a phone call from Toby, a jailed teenage runaway
looking for his father, she''s shocked to discover that a
heterosexual encounter during her life as a man resulted
in a son. Bree wants no part of Toby, but her therapist
insists she must confront her past, and withholds legal
permission for Bree''s final operation until she has met
the boy. Bee grudgingly dips into her precious operation
fund and flies to New York to bail Toby out of jail.
Released to her without explanation, Toby assumes from
Bree''s conservative appearance that she''s a Christian
missionary who rescues street people and converts them to
Jesus. Not ready for parenthood, Bree seizes her chance
and encourages Toby''s misconception. When she learns that
the rebellious, disheveled Toby intends to skip bail and
hitchhike to L.A. to break into X-rated videos and search
for his real father, Bree panics. She doesn''t want him to
interfere with her plans for a safe, quiet new life. She
offers him a ride cross-country, secretly plotting to
abandon him with the stepfather he ran away from. As each
lies to and manipulates the other, Bree and Toby find
themselves on an unexpected and transformative journey.
