When Celeste (Lewis), a 17-year-old slam poetry prodigy, is uprooted from her Bay Area community and moved to Maryland’s elite Black suburbs, she’s forced to participate in a prestigious cotillion season. As she prepares to debut into high society, she must confront her burgeoning queer identity and decide what kind of coming-out story she wants for herself.
