Trapped in a nightclub, a trans man must brave the women's bathroom after an invasive visit from that time of the month.
Joey, a young trans man, is forced to party at a cis girl bar he'd never attend on his own as he waits for his girlfriend to arrive with a bachelorette party. After an unfortunate sneeze, Joey realizes with disdain that he started his period. He makes the difficult decision to retrieve the products he needs as quickly as possible from the women's restroom, hoping the coast is clear.
However, as he turns to leave, tampon in hand, he hears two partygoers approaching the door. He panics, retreats, and hides in an empty stall. Once Joey is inside, we can only see what he is capable of viewing from within the stall itself, watching the heels of these two women clicking around on the floor and flashing glimpses of them through the cracks in the door.
As he unwillingly overhears more about the girls' situation, their harmless chatter turns into a violent fight, and Joey must make his presence known or watch two drunk girls slaughter each other. Joey must take a stand to ensure the safety of those who surround him, but also make the decision to come out of hiding and protect himself. In a triumphant yet chaotic finish, a moment of dysphoria turns into catharsis, and he leaves the bar a changed man. See the world through Joey's eyes as he navigates a world that struggles to understand him.
