Haus
Makai is a young homeless queer boy sleeping on his friends couch. As he and Trevon prepare for a night of competition at a local Kiki Ball, Makai is forced to reconnect with his disapproving older brother. Yearning for distraction from his tumultuous familial situation, Makai chooses to resist when his new found family is threatened.
