Synopsis
Twinkie, a heretofore closeted lesbian who is an adopted Asian American, is a junior in a predominantly white high school. She rebuffs her best friend, Egghead, a nerdy, straight senior boy who is about to graduate, when he tries to kiss her. Twinkie comes out to him, and Egghead reluctantly accepts this. When Twinkie comes out to her parents, however, they become upset and reject her. Twinkie decides to run away for a few days to see the lesbian DJ that she has been corresponding with over social media, and recruits Egghead to drive her father's car. While on the road trip, she meets Jess, a bisexual woman who is also Asian American, and they develop an acquaintance. The DJ rebuffs her over the phone when Twinkie and Egghead reach the performance venue. Egghead has grown into being an ally, and brings her back to her new acquaintance on the way back home so that Twinkie can realize that there is a spark with her new friend.
