Kristy Nichols is a pre-op transsexual prostitute working the streets of Hollywood. Kristy has doubts about the final, surgical solution to her gender-quest but transexually is among the least of her troubles. Gently comic, the film looks at Kristy's confusing life, downplaying the usual issues of gender identity. When a professor of sexology asks her to star in a film about a transsexual prostitute, Kristy thinks she may have finally found some direction in her life. She's wrong.
