Bree (Felicity Huffman) is a born-again Christian and pre-operative transsexual woman living in L.A. and trying to save up money to become a woman. Formerly known as Stanley, Bree is about to complete gender realignment when she learns of the existence of her son Toby, who was conceived during a single night of heterosexual experimentation at college.
Lacking the courage to confess her true identity Bree plans instead to offload Toby on his stepfather in Kansas.
Like all good road movies, it is both a journey in space and time and a journey of the mind and spirit. It is a courageous piece of work, full of anxiety, pain and doubt, but also pluck and personal discovery, and all tempered by a self mocking humour.
