Enrique (Esai Morales) gets out of prison after three years. He doesn't want to violate his parole and go back, but the cards are stacked against him. His wife Angela (Judy Reyes) had taken on a lover (Vincent Laresca) which Enrique is understanding and forgiving, but now it must be over. Their son Michael (Harmony Santana) prefers to be called Vanessa. Angela is supportive of him, while Enrique is as confused as a rabbit in the headlights.
And that is pretty much the story. The action and plot are light. I imagine the film is supposed to deal with growing up transvestite in a poor Hispanic neighborhood, but it misses the mark on that. As I kept waiting for the film to start they rolled the end credits. The film was well acted with some interesting scenes, but there was no hook.
Parental Guide: F-bomb, N-word, sex. Brief opaque side shower nudity.
