After a near-death experience (equally hilarious and terrifying), O decides to face her fears to fulfill a lifelong dream most would never dare... or would honestly even want to. To succeed, she'll need to recruit long-lost friends, former enemies, and brand new allies to infiltrate her former high school and find the shine she's always had to hide. But when a series of unexpected mishaps (much more hilarious than terrifying) threatens to end the mission before it even begins, O and her pals will end up battling more than the squad of angry teens they manage to piss off. They'll be forced to face the consequences of their mistakes, the discovery of their secrets, and the shocking connections that will either tear them all apart or bring them closer than they've ever been. It's more than just the story of a transgender woman finding peace with her past. It's the story of a small town learning what true love really is (or at least what it could be). It's a moving and witty reflection on who all of us really are. It's The Beginning of October.
