After a messy break up from her long-term white boyfriend, Queenie finds herself seeking comfort in all the wrong places.

Who do you want to be? - the questions that every woman today must face in a world that keeps trying to provide the answers for them. A disarmingly honest, boldly political and truly inclusive tale that will speak to anyone who has gone looking for love and acceptance and found something very different in its place.
