In 1993, a stranger came to Faos City in Nebraska, in the central part of the United States. His appearance broke the tranquility of this small town. Almost everyone who met him was attracted by his innocence, and women frequently expressed their love for him. In the eyes of the locals, he is a lively rebel, a loyal friend and a charming public lover. Although he has become a popular figure in the city and has made friends with many people, people do not really understand the secret of "him".
This young man who calls himself Brandon Tiner is really a daughter and lives in Lincoln City, 75 miles away from Faos. Her real name is Tina Brandon. She cannot accept her gender and has always considered herself to be a man with a "gender role crisis". For this reason, she moved to Faos, hoping to be accepted by people and live like a man.
"His" new friend Lenny told him that a stranger would be looked down upon if he could not find a friend of the opposite sex in Faos. As a result, Brandon quickly became the lover of the small town and lived with a single mother named Kanders. Until the appearance of Lana changed his life, since the first meeting, the two soon fell in love with each other. Brandon also became friends with Lana's ex-boyfriend John. John and the best friend Tom both have criminal convictions. They gathered a bunch of rough men, drunk, and reveled day and night. They accepted Brandon.
After all, the paper could not contain the fire, Brandon was arrested for traffic violations, and her secret was discovered. After Lana learned the truth, she stood by Brandon, but John and Tom felt humiliated. Their anger quickly swelled into a bloody and violent crime. They raped and brutally killed Brandon.
