Jamie New is 16 years old and does not fit in the world in which he has lived; In fact, she wants to make a "real" career and dreams of becoming a drag queen. Despite having doubts about his future, Jamie knows one thing for sure: It will cause a sensation. Thanks to the support of his intelligent and affectionate mother and his wonderful friends, Jamie overcomes prejudices, defeats the stalkers and leaves the darkness directly to the center of all eyes.
