Graham Bell and Zeke Miller, a transgender couple, are navigating life mid-transition. They share their insights surrounding love, gender, and pet snakes. Through this film they invite us into their lives, openly discussing the ups and downs that they face in their journey to a more perfect union.

Two women meet, fall in love and go through the motions in a very short span of time.
