after the death of Calpernia’s love, Barry Winchell, a private soldier, a trans girl tries to get back into the game. she continues to perform at a club as a drag queen and saves money for surgery to remove her male gen* and create female ones. she is still one of the stars of the nightclub — bright and chic — but inside, she is broken, unhappy from lost love, and still the same insecure girl trying to overcome the complexes that come with being a trans woman rather than a cis woman.

one day, something changes in her. this happens when she meets a nice girl. Calpernia is crying after a concert — she is tired. pervy man at the club pinched her butt. and although this happened from time to time, this time, it knocked her off track. she is standing near the back entrance of the club, wiping tears, in her bright dress, when one of the visitors sees her there.
