The show focuses on the lives of transwoman Elle and transman Ted, who are both well into their transitions and on track for their respective surgeries.
Elle's transition is moving forward towards SRS with help of a supportive family. As you watch it, she has an unexpected and tragic loss on the road to Trinidad, CO and her surgery date with Dr. Marci Bowers.

One of the cool things about this trans documentary is that it features Ted, an African descended transman. It's not often I get to see my transbrothas featured in these various documentaries, and it was a refreshing change of pace.

There's also a section in which they show a little of their post recovery surgery issues.
If you missed it last night, there's a repeat showing of it at 2 AM EDT before they eventually put it on the True Life section of the MTV website for you to watch.
