Description
The Ark, a boy band, is the center of life for super-fan Fereshteh (A.K.A Angel) Rahimi. Transgender front man Jimmy Kaga-Ricci owes everything to The Ark, even if fame only amplifies his severe anxiety. The fans accept that he's trans, but keep matching himn with his friend and bandmate Rowan. When Jimmy and Angel are unexpectedly thrust together, they find out how strange and surprising facing up to reality can be. -- adapted from jacket
