Leslie reunites with her childhood friend
after their transition on a scenic desert hike.
Childhood friends Leslie and Bry reconnect on a California hiking trail, years after they drifted apart. As they navigate the rugged landscape, the two confront the emotional distance that grew between them, Bry’s transition and the unresolved feelings from their past. Through candid conversations, playful banter, and moments of vulnerability, they rediscover a deep bond that transcends their shared history, leading to the possibility of a renewed connection.
This queer trans love story explores themes of forgiveness, self-acceptance, and the enduring power of friendship.
