Focuses on a year and a half of dramatic change in the life of an enigmatic and outrageous Hollywood character. It's an intimate examination of Alexis' journey toward becoming male-to-female. Well known as an actor, drag persona and one of a family of celebrity siblings, it wasn't until a few years ago that Alexis began to live full-time "as a woman" and revealed to family and friends her plans to seek sex reassignment surgery. This film chronicles Alexis' struggles with the concerns of her family, the scepticism of the gay and drag community and the conventional wisdom of the medical-transgender industry. Through it all, Alexis continues to tear up the Los Angeles club scene and make frequent stops on the red carpet. Framed within the strange and surreal world of Hollywood celebrity we see an intimate portrait of a funny, dynamic and flamboyant personality struggling with uncommon issues--and through her eyes, we're thrust into a thoroughly unique world.

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter
