30-something-year-old Quinn expects his transition and second foray into puberty to be nothing short of euphoric, but in a world where his anxieties and emotional baggage talk back to him, he realizes the road to becoming a self-made man comes with its own set of self-made problems. After administering (and failing) his first testosterone shot, Quinn heads out to the bar to celebrate with his friend Mobi. Quinn's anxiety, The Narrator, tags along, explaining everything testosterone is doing in Quinn's body and environment. Soon, Quinn magically transforms into the man of his own dreams and gets a little wild and cocky at the bar. However, after an altercation with some Finance Bros and his anxieties The Narrator knows by heart, Quinn is flattened and distraught. Mobi barely cheers up his friend and it takes mentally duking it out with The Narrator and getting into a (almost) physical fight to feel validated again.

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
