Plot: One week before her vaginoplasty, Sabrina 'Bree' Osbourne (Felicity Huffman) receives a phone call from Toby Wilkins (Kevin Zegers), a 17-year old boy who is jailed in New York City. He asks for Stanley Schupak (Bree's former name), claiming to be his son.
Bree was previously unaware she had a son; she now wants to break with her past and ignore her son. She argues that with his age he can take care of himself. However, her therapist (Elizabeth Pe?a) refuses permission for her operation if she does not face up to her past.
Bree flies from Los Angeles to New York to bail Toby out of jail. Toby is a small-time drug user and male hustler. His mother committed suicide, after which he was raised by his stepfather, whom he does not want to see again.
Bree pretends to be a Christian missionary, and persuades Toby to ride with her back to the West Coast, secretly planning to leave him at his stepfather's along the way. When they arrive in Kentucky it turns out that Toby's stepfather molested him as a child, and so this plan fails. Toby and Bree continue to Los Angeles together. During the trip, Toby accidentally discovers that Bree is transsexual. He is open-minded about it, but is angry that Bree had not told him.
After their car and money are stolen by a "peyote shaman" hitchhiker, Toby helps out by making some money with his prostitution. To Bree he pretends that he got the money from selling some drugs he had taken along for his own use. They get a ride with a kindly rancher Calvin Many Goats (Graham Greene) to Bree's parents' house in Phoenix, Arizona. Here they find her very Christian mother Elizabeth (Fionnula Flanagan), her Jewish father Murray (Burt Young), and her rebellious and sarcastic sister Sydney (Carrie Preston). Elizabeth is very negative about Bree's transsexuality, but excited about finding out she has a grandson. She is kind to Toby, and invites him to stay and live with them. Toby likes the luxury and kindness, but hesitates. Toby proposes to have sex with Bree, saying that he will marry her if she wants to. Now Bree tells Toby that she is his father. Toby is angry that she has not told that earlier, and disappointed in view of his fantasies how great his father might be. He leaves and travels on alone.
Back in Los Angeles, Bree has her surgery, but breaks down into tears in the recovery room. Toby, who bleached his hair and also went to LA, becomes a pornographic actor in gay pornography films. A glimpse of a film shoot reveals that he has trouble having an erection when required, in spite of using Viagra. Toby visits Bree, and the two reconcile. He shows a leaflet about an upcoming DVD in which he performs, and tells Bree that he can get her a discount. The film's final words of dialogue show that they have reached a level of mutual respect.
One of the major themes of the film is the personal journey toward self-discovery, according to interviews with the director and actors.
