When her mother invites an old friend, ALICIA, who is now a doctor, to stay with them, Alicia brings her teenage son, MERCUTIO. Alex feels an immediate attraction towards Mercutio, and they begin a sexual relationship. However, their relationship becomes complicated when Alex's body starts to show signs of masculinity due to the hormonal imbalance caused by her therapy being discontinued.
