A high school junior transfers to a new school when her mom enters rehab, quickly clashing with the resident mean girl. Her aunt and uncle offer to throw a sweet sixteen to help her adjust, but the jealous queen bee plots to ruin it, even resorting to murder. The teen's mom must redeem herself to save the party and, more importantly, her relationship with her daughter.

In this compelling drama, openly gay Ernesto and closeted Gabe grapple with the sad tribulations of being gay in a small, working-class Texas town. Reminiscent of such classic rural gay love stories as "Big Eden" and "Brokeback Mountain," this festival hit is an uplifting love story about male intimacy, the heartache of unsuccessful relationships, and the transformative power of love.
