DESCRIPTION:
Angelica, a quiet 14 year old girl with a secret, goes away to Camp. While her shy tendencies land her on the bottom of the social totem-pole, her cousin Ryan courageously fends off bullies. When each of Angelica’s tormentors winds up dead, Angelica fears that her secret will be unveiled. Or, rather, untucked. 

This horror-comedy satirizes the classic killer-tranny trope, and asks the question, “Would you wanna be in a bathroom with HER?”
No. You wouldn’t.
Cuz she’s going to Slay you. 
No literally…
Like. You will be slain.

This show is satirizing the "killer-tranny" trope via comedy and horror. The piece centers harmful narratives and contorts them to show how  ridiculous they are. In the long tradition of feminist-horror, the murders are absurd but justified. Sinners always get their comeuppance.
