Ponyboi

Valentines Day, New Jersey. It's a busy day of sex work for Ponyboi (River Gallo) when he learns that his estranged father is dying. The troubling news brings back old memories of growing up intersex in a traditional Salvadoran household, and the rift his gender created in his family. Things take a turn for the worse when a drug deal goes wrong, forcing Ponyboi to make a clean break and leave New Jersey to save his neck from the mob and his abusive pimp (Dylan O'Brien). With the help of a mysterious cowboy, Bruce (Murray Bartlett), Ponyboi journeys through the underbelly of New Jersey on a quest for freedom in a gripping 24 hours.
