The most difficult hurdle is Shawn’s internal struggle— he finds that Alliya, who is a trans woman, is evolving into a very different person than the one he first fell in love with as she continues to transition and explore surgical options. Now, Shawn is faced with the most important question of all — can he say “I do” to someone whose identity is changing before his eyes?
