Synopsis: The Girl Who Couldn't Stand Up Straight

Adopted from Korea as a baby, no one wondered why Robin didn't fit in. No one knew what Robin knew: that she was supposed to be a girl.

It is her last year of high school, the year she turns eighteen and can start her transition. But when her best friend falls into a downward spiral, she is drawn into a strange triangle with her and her father -- an immigrant himself. She finds herself tested in ways she never expected, as a Korean who was made American, as a woman who was a boy, and as a child striving to grow up.
