Eli is a queer transmasculine person who starts driving for a rideshare company to
pay for top surgery. He quickly learns that he has to pass as a cisgender male for
emotional and physical safety. The problem is that he wasn't socialized as a male
and lacks the nuance of being a 'man'. His nightly route starts by driving his best
friend Niki, a professional dancer, to the strip club where she works. With each new
passenger, Eli's performance of gender shifts and unfolds. The film explores the ways
in which queer and trans people survive in the gig economy and navigate gender socialization.
