The Switch

After getting fired for coming out as trans at work, the life that Sü has so carefully planned spins out of control and she winds up crashing on Chris’s couch in Craneview Place. She meets Antonia, her landlord who is obviously up to something illegal, and Zoey, a teenage neighbor who has no sense of boundaries. Sü must decide whether or not she should stay out of the closet.

Zoey shadows Chris hoping to uncover her secret occupation as she tries to cover up her profession. Chris puts up with Antonia’s attempts to connect by ragging on trans people. Sü finds out she’s even more broke than she anticipated, but fortunately the handsome Russell drives her around town to hunt for jobs that she wouldn’t otherwise touch with a 10-foot pole.

Zoey deals with bullying at school and tricks Chris into posing as her legal guardian on parent-teacher day so she can exact revenge. Sandra, who was fixated on “the Chris problem,” is hurt and alarmed when she finds out. Nate realizes that his text-message dominatrix is in the office, Sü realizes that her text- message client is her boss, and she fobs him off on Phil, who turns the situation to his own ends.

Trying to break Zoey out of her shell, Sü convinces her to join Doomball—a contact sport with a frighteningly high casualty rate. While on the hunt for a target, Chris and Antonia elbow in on the Doomball experience, but for the opposing team. Chris meets a new flame, who might also be a contract killer. When Russell objects to Sü taking part in the violent sport Zoey feels abandoned, and Sü has to show them that they’re not alone.

Sensing underlying problems in her relationship, Sü tries to compensate by arranging a double date—her and Russell with Chris and this curious “Isabelle.” Antonia realizes that her lesbian-grapevine reputation as a good lay has not only overshadowed her real personality, but that when she thinks about her sexuality and her body, she comes to some alarming conclusions. Zoey tries to date someone online who is cool and dangerous while Sandra would rather they not date at all. And taking a pair of contract killers on a double-date proves to be as good an idea as it sounds.
