Kana & Tomo meet in high school and hit it off right away. Tomo is a raging masc lesbian and a star in the volleyball team, battling a homophobic principal, an ogre of a father, and her own demons. Kana just returned from living in London where she transitioned socially but she still has issues being at one with the binary world around her. At their school they discover a kindred spirit in Mandy, an English teacher from Samoa. They attempt to set-up a group for queer kids but the idea is rebuffed by the principal so they set-up an online group instead.
On a trip up to Tokyo Pride, they hatch a plan to open a queer-friendly café together and the search begins for a suitable spot. All is well until Tomo's team mate is found dead and the girls seek answers from the school. Finding none, they quit in a blaze of internet indignation. But for Tomo, things worsen when her father announces plans to move away. She flatly refuses to go and cops a vicious beating. It's all too much—her demons, the loss of her friend, and the prospect of losing Kana—and she escapes into the night.
