Fourteen-year-old Ulysses lives with his mother, Amara, and younger brother. Because his father has recently died, his mother's sister, the conservative Aunt Rose, agrees to help take care of Ulysses and his brother while their mother is at work. Ulysses is bullied at school by his classmates and threatened at home by Rose for his feminine characteristics. One night Ulysses ventures out into the city and meets a group of gay and transgender individuals, Ebony, Raymond, Dijon, and Heaven. Ebony invites Ulysses to Saturday Church, a program ran at a church every Saturday to feed and provide shelter for LGBT youths. While there Ulysses develops an interest in voguing and buys a pair of high-heel shoes to practice in. Ulysses also begins to form a relationship with Raymond, who has mutual feelings for him. After returning home from school one day, Aunt Rose is waiting for Ulysses and confronts him about the high-heels, which she discovered in his room. Rose begins to beat Ulysses, causing him to run away from the house. Read more on Wikipedia.
