When new kid Robin arrives to a small-town middle school in 1987, the other students have one question: โAre you a boy or a girl?โ Robin forges a complicated bond with the school bully, Carter, and starts making increasingly dangerous choices to fit in. Robin joins in Carterโs tormenting of unpopular Tony, and sidelines Carterโs former wingman, Shev. Soon, a golden-voiced singer, Izzy, arrives on the scene, and a blurry adolescent love triangle is formed between Robin, Carter, and Izzy.
