After more than twenty years in prison, a trans woman on parole spends a whirlwind Fourth of July weekend in Brooklyn, trying to reconcile with the son she left behind and reunite with a family reluctant to accept her true identity. Carlotta Mercedes has faced misunderstanding her entire life. Initially caught in a robbery gone wrong, she was known by her birth name in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, before gentrification changed the landscape. During her incarceration, she embraced her identity as Carlotta, but prison authorities rejected this, keeping her in an all-male cell block and subjecting her to abuse and solitary confinement. After five attempts, she finally gains conditional freedom and a bus ticket back to a transformed New York City, where she must navigate her past and present.
