True love can surprise you when you've already lost hope of finding a partner. Allie and Jo knew from the first moment that they would be together. Jo, a trans man, is one of the leading figures in the New York start-up arena, a great speaker, mentor, activist. His partner Allie, a trans woman, is a biology lecturer beloved by her students. When they were in their twenties, coming from small religious communities, they didn't even know the word 'transgender'. Two decades later, their paths cross to create together the family they have always dreamed of and they both begin to transition.
