Misty Riggs crafts like nobody’s watching... and they’re not. The oddball teenage optimist livestreams daily to an audience of zero about her passion for all things sequined, glittered and puffy-painted. But when her spontaneous takedown of a school bully goes viral and a flood of followers start following, Misty suddenly discovers her calling: she’ll be a champion for the LGBTQ+ community!
 
Ignoring the misgivings of her BFF (and only F) Alixandra, naïve Misty sets out to make genderfluid classmate Jacey the star of a campaign he never asked for. Meanwhile, Alix and Jacey unexpectedly click, and their budding romance not only threatens Misty’s grand plan, it also blindsides Alix’s guidance-counselor mom, who’s got her own complicated thing going with the school principal. Increasingly isolated, Misty vows to win over Jacey and prove herself a hero—no matter the cost.
