CGiii Comment
At a typical New York high school, social outcast Leilani Reeves faces bullying from Rylee Floyd and other popular girls due to her shyness and sexuality. She forms an unexpected bond with physical education teacher Misha King, who defends Leilani and shares experiences and difficulties from her own life as a gay mother. The two separately face Rylee's continuous antagonism until sudden moments of conflict and intimacy bring the three women together and reveal either desperation or reconciliation.
