Synopsis
Sixteen-year-old Rory is on the cusp of coming out as ace—asexual—a concept her friends don’t even seem to be able to grasp. The good news is that she's been able to confide in her grandmother. The bad news is that Rory’s lola never remembers; she has dementia—often mistaking Rory for her mother, and her care facility for her house back in the Philippines. Will Rory be able to convince the people she loves to recognize her for who she really is?
