After being kicked out of his strict Mormon home, 17-year-old AJ finds himself lost on the streets of Atlanta. Desperate and naive, he’s taken in by Baby Girl, an 18-year-old Black trans sex worker whose sharp instincts have kept her alive. She offers him shelter in a squat house and teaches him the hustles of survival—stealing, dealing, and navigating the unforgiving city. Under the watchful eye of Daddy, Baby Girl’s volatile pimp, AJ is drawn deeper into a world both thrilling and dangerous. The two form an intense bond—part friendship, part mentorship, part something unspoken. But when their friend Pedro contracts HIV and gets government aid, AJ and Baby Girl are forced to confront a brutal reality. As their nights blur into neon-lit highs and whispered fears, one reckless choice threatens to change everything—forcing them to decide how far they’ll go to escape a life that never wanted them.
