After trying on a binder and a packer for the first time, Krishna, a trans male, has to face his own insecurities, and is on a journey of overcoming his fear of passing and coming out. Luckily, he is not alone. His best friend Skyler, a post-operation trans female, is there to support him.

“Afraid of what the world will think of their true self, Aria steals themselves for interactions with their family, friends and the public after trying on a binder and packer for the first time. Aria sets off on a journey in which they must face their insecurities, by overcoming their fear of passing and coming out. They soon realize that they are not alone, and with the support of their best friend Skyler, a trans female, they are finally able to build up the courage to come out. ”
