She leaves her Irish town, in part to look for her mother and in part because her transgender nature is beyond the town's understanding. She's taken in by a rock band, falls for the lead singer, has brushes with the IRA, is arrested by the London police, works in a peep show, and poses as a survey researcher for the phone company. Throughout, her nationality and her nature put her at great risk. In her search for her mother, she makes surprising discoveries of friendship and family. But, will she survive?

I've seen it all now. I tell you,

I've f***ing well seen it all now.

Where the f***

do you think he disappeared to...

when we were in San Francisco?

I'd even bring you flowers.

-Roses?

-Roses.

Oh, Billy.

Oh, Kitten.

Billy.

For I ask you, Billy Bobby, nicest man...

what's an Indian band without a squaw?

"A squaw?"

-Name, please?

-Paddy Kitten. What's yours, darling?

I could tell you were a Paddy all right.

-What about Geronimo?

-What would I know? I'm just a Mick.

Thirteen of your lot shot in Derry.

What do you know about that?

Maybe you'd know about thirteen less

to deal with.

F*** off, mate.

F*** off.

Get off the f***ing stage, you stupid b*tch.

Patrick, I don't know how to say this to you.

It's the boys, the boys in the band.

They feel a squaw just isn't working out.

It could be they have a point.

They say it doesn't feel right.

I don't know,

they've been with me so long and....

I'm sorry.

But I have a little proposal.

-A ring, perhaps?

-Oh, Patrick, Patrick....

I told you not to call me that.

I'm sorry, Kitten.

Bobby Billy,

would you bring me sweeties, too?

You know I would.

-What kind would they be?

-Oh, for the love of Jesus.

-No. No, Quality Street.

-Quality Street?

It was my mother's.

She left it to me in her will.

Nobody stays here, and I need somebody

to look after it, Kitten.

-What do you reckon?

-House of dreams and longing.

I wouldn't exactly call it a house,

but tell us what you think.

Oh, to have a little house.

To own the hearth, stool and all.

So, Kitten, can I come and visit you

every now and again?

Of course you can,

you great, big, silly Bobby Goldsboro.

You don't even have to ask.

Well, goodness gracious, icky-oakie me.

-What?

-What's with Diana Ross?

Leave him be, he knows nothing.

-Keep it that way.

-No problem.

If I volunteer, Irwin,

could I have pink glasses, please?

Can't you take anything serious?

Oh, serious, serious, serious.

You might have to soon enough.

So f***ing what, Charlie?

I sell Republican News.

A few f***ing papers, big deal.

What are you, my f***ing wife?

Don't you lie to me, Irwin.

I don't believe your stories.

I'm involved in nothing! I sell their paper,

for all the difference it makes in this kip.

Nobody gives a f***!

Soon enough they f***ing will.

If I find out you're lying to me,

I'll finish with you, I swear!

Yeah, well, finish it with me,

see if I f***ing care!

Come on, move off the road.

There's a vehicle coming through.

Get back. It's for your own safety.

Get these people off the street!

I want everyone to move away

from the red van!

Come on, folks. Stand back, please. Move!

Bring it down careful now. Yeah, gently.
