Frankie (Richard Perez, Jr., IPRHFF 2024 Best Actor winner), a young Puerto Rican man living in Brooklyn, prepares for his first-ever performance as a Drag Queen with the help of his supportive mother (Damaris Isales) – but they must keep it a secret from his conservative, disapproving father (Luis Berrio). Through a daring night of celebration, courage, and heartbreak, Frankie learns the meaning of home — and the sacrifices it takes to chase your wildest dreams.
