ABOUT:
Tommy is scared of everything.
Especially the kids at school who would call him gay if they saw him putting on lipstick.
Jordan isn't scared of anything.
He's not scared that he likes the way Tommy looks in lipstick.
Really, he's not.
Two women play two teenage boys in this exploration of gender about young hearts and the rules that surround us all.
