Where do you go once you’ve completed the first line of your obituary?

As a teenager, Martin was the first openly trans gymnast to make the U.S. Men’s Artistic Gymnastics team. Now, he’s a broke 25-year-old with no prospects, about to be evicted from his apartment. Torn between the examples of two friends – En, a fellow trans gymnast who has carved out a second career in sports writing, and Jenna, a high school teacher who never left her hometown — Martin must pick a new direction in life after arriving at the end of the only road he ever knew. Developed in collaboration with Kyr Siegel (Martin).
