A tale of a trans boy who sees the non acceptance of trans people in just one quick blink that ruins his innocence. He is left with a destiny that tears many apart, including himself. His friends must search for one thing that could possibly save their scarred hearts. But then more drama happens. . . 


"Most trans people want to forget that the female or male them existed, but Arizona is a part of me and I don't want to forget those days. Sure, we argued and I still woke up with bloody sheets each month, but she taught me things no teacher could."

| ONC 2024 SHORTLIST | Nikolas Hoffman just wants to lay low. After coming out as transgender in high school, he made a vow to draw as little attention to himself as possible, diving headfirst into his work as a copy editor as soon as he graduated college. Now, Nikolas has finally decided to give himself a much-needed vacation to a small beach-side town in upstate California. However, everything takes a turn when an all-too-familiar face shows up at his hotel. Axel Reed is the well-known guitar player and lead singer of The Kissing Teeth - and just so happens to be Nikolas' ex-friend. Much to the latter's dismay, Axel has a nasty habit of drawing crowds of paparazzi everywhere he goes and is always down for a little mischief. It's safe to say that Nikolas' vacation just got interesting. ◦✭◦ Written for ONC 2024.
