In a society where technology enhances conformity, Charlie defies expectations by requesting to transition to male. But when the system wants to change his brain rather than his body, he and the woman he loves must join forces with a group of Queer Rebels to fight for their freedom.
Season 1 of The Queer Rebels
***
Charlie has always been told that on his twentieth birthday, he can choose to be anything he wants. Most people choose to be beautiful, or smart, or funny, but on his Choosing Day, Charlie asks for a male body to fit his mind.
But when he realizes that authorities aren't going to accept his request and he's in grave danger, his only choice is to escape with Marcy, the woman he loves. Together, Marcy and Charlie give up everything they've ever known to escape the city for the Queer Rebels, who for decades have been providing refuge to runaways.
At first, Charlie and Marcy's relationship blooms as Charlie finds a community he never knew existed and harnesses advanced tech the government's always hidden from them. However, nothing is quite as it seems, and things get complicated as they are forced to navigate ideological factions within the Queer Rebels. Charlie is drawn into a struggle for liberation, while Marcy urges caution. Their love was born in a repressive regime, but will it survive in the freedom beyond the city's borders?

As Kane becomes increasingly aware of the emotions of those around him, his dreams start getting more intense, and he unwittingly gets pulled into a chain of events that affects him in ways that he couldn't possibly have imagined.
