Nina Johnson is a fan of new starts. Ever since coming out as a transgender woman, she's been used to cutting ties and burning bridges whenever people get too close or voice their concern over who she is. This has led to a lot of interesting career choices and new towns. Now, Nina believes she has finally settled in a place where she wants to stay. Living post-op as a trans woman, she's happy.
But when she goes to cut her long, red hair, she begins to look back on her life and wonder if she's made the best choices. She doesn't regret who she is, but talking to her stylist, the dark and handsome Alejandro, makes her wonder if living alone is really all it seems to be. Will Alejandro still adore Nina after he learns all her secrets, or will Nina have to pick up and start again?
