Synopsis
College junior Rhys has been grappling with a major identity change: she is a trans woman. Only the members of her a cappella group, her closest friends in the world, know of her journey of self-discovery. But what do you do when the "Swingsmen" aren't all men anymore? If you're Rhys, you gather the group on Zoom to talk about a name change—except what seemed like a done deal isn't quite, and words like "history," "alumni" and "tradition" struggle to harmonize with "progress." Can Rhys and her brothers repair their fractured siblinghood, or will more than just the group's name be in jeopardy?
