Ten-year-old Cassius Daniels knows exactly who she is.The world just hasn't caught up yet.Since losing her mother — her only ally, the one person who truly saw her — Cass has been drowning in her own life. Her father doesn't understand her. Her classmates make sure she feels it. When the noise becomes unbearable, she turns to the one place that always made sense: the water. Calm. Quiet. Hers. Until the day she walks in and doesn't plan to walk back out.

The only witness is Pepper: a drag queen unraveling in her own right, drowning out her own sorrow by a lake at the wrong hour — or maybe exactly the right one. Pepper pulls Cassie out before she disappears.What begins as an unlikely collision becomes something neither of them expected — a found family forged in sequins, built inside Club Bizou, a queer sanctuary run by the formidable Clarita. For the first time, Cass has a world that sees her. But when her father discovers the truth and wages war on everything she's becoming, Cassie must fight to hold onto the self she's always known — and the people who finally, fiercely, love her for it. When Bill finally looks — really looks — at the daughter he's been fighting to erase, something in him breaks open. And on a Pride float, in full regalia, Cassie takes her place not just as the Bizou Princess, but as the mermaid she's always been.

Starring ACADEMY AWARD WINNER Nat Faxon, Devyn McDowell and Arturo Luiz Soria.
