In a world where identity and expectation clash, Geoffrey Rivers has spent her life playing the role of the perfect lady, shadowed by the memory of her late sister. Beneath this facade lies a rebellio us spirit yearning for freedom and authenticity. The pivotal moment arrives during an underground cosplay festival, where a chance encounter with a captivating cosplayer ignites something within Geoffrey—a taste of raw, uncontrived passion. As the wild night fades into a dream, she unwittingly stumbles upon a striking black costume in her wife Matilda’s closet, remnants of their shared escapade. What transpires next is a tantalizing unraveling of not only their relationship but Geoffrey's very identity. Matilda, unapologetic and confident, dares Geoffrey to confront her true self, questioning whether the woman she has been pretending to be is the one they both desire.
