What's worse is when an anonymous student at his school starts sending wildly transphobic messages to him on instagram, after putting up a gallery with Felix's deadname included underneath each photo, stolen from his instagram. And what starts off as a revenge plot, lands Felix smack dab in the middle of a quasi love triangle, with a heaping side of self discovery. Theme Song by Man With Roses
