premiss

Jamie New is a 16-year-old and doesn't exactly fit in. Rather than seeking after a "genuine" profession, he fantasies about turning into a cross dresser. Dubious about his future, Jamie knows one thing without a doubt: he will be a sensation. Upheld by his caring mother and his stunning companions, Jamie conquers bias, severely thrashes, the murkiness into the spotlight.
