| Summary |
It's 1999, and Jet has just been dumped in a boarding house full of out-of-control students. Jet can't help but feel something isn't quite right, and it's not just the weird drama, sinister staff, or the looming Y2K apocalypse. Drifting away from everything that teenage girls seem to be interested in, Jet slowly realizes that they may be more of a boy than the girl everyone says they should be. But who can they turn to when nobody else seems to be having the same problems? A look at what it was like to be both a teenager and transgender before the internet age. |
