The movie follows Kelsa, a transgender high senior played by Reign, navigating through her last year of school. Kelsa has a love for fashion and animals whose names reflect their unique traits, similar to her, whose name translates to brave. Reign’s character has a Youtube channel where she discusses various topics and documents her daily experiences as a transgender teen. One of her classmates, Khai, played by Ali, develops a crush on Kelsa, and despite the drama, the two begin to date. As the film progresses, both characters must navigate through judgment from friends and family while learning ways to communicate with one another and not allow outside voices to define them.
