 One week before her sex-change operation, Bree receives a call from a 17-year-old identifying himself as her son from a college liaison. Bree s psychiatrist won t approve the surgery until Bree deals with this relationship, so Bree flies to New York City, bails the youth out of juvenile detention, and offers him a ride back to Los Angeles without disclosing that she is his father. Both her plans and his go awry, and as secrets will out, what might become a friendship (or more) founders. The lad s step-father, a sex-change support group, a peyote eater, a Navajo wrangler, and Bree s family all play their parts in this exploration of family, gender, and expectations.
