One standup comedian goes on a journey of self-discovery and explores the pitfalls and power of choosing one's own queer narrative.

Jackie Locklear is a stand-up comedian who is trans and doesn't know how to confront that part of himself. His Aunt Sheila's death spurs Jackie to take a trip to the refuge Sheila built for trans folks, the Chicken Heart Love Commune. The people there represent a range of backgrounds, in contrast with the world where Jackie was raised. But as a city kid still coming to terms with his trans identity, and struggling to process his grief, the bucolic place and its residents don't make him feel like he fits in. Through the power of humor and acceptance, Jackie is able to make space for himself.

An emotional, powerful story about finding one's heart and opening up to people who are willing and able to love.
