Follow Saira, an introverted princess who has lived her life sheltered. Her world is turned upside down when her famous bounty hunter girlfriend, Kiki, breaks up with her and is subsequently kidnapped from the “Straight White Maliens”. Forced to leave her home in Clitopolis, Saira goes on a quest to save Kiki. Joined by a runaway gay pop-idol named Willow, the two encounter deadly hazards. For Saira though, the scariest thing of all is her own self-doubt.
