An intersex runaway searches for love and a way out of his working class neighborhood in New Jersey.
From his apartment in the back of a New Jersey laundromat, an intersex Hispanic named Ponyboi dreams of escaping his boring, run down, working class life. He passes his time saddled between the drama of his friend’s turbulent relationship and turning tricks with a stream of greasy, perverted men. When a cowboy rides into town on his Mustang and tips his white hat towards him, Ponyboi thinks he may finally have a way out. Destiny greets him on the boardwalk, a place he cherished in his youth.
