CGiii Comment

V , an older trans woman, is desperately trying to hold on to her rent stabilized apartment in New York City. V’s property manager, Shawnith continues her nefarious efforts to evict V or get her to move out. In retaliation, Alexxx, V’s upstairs neighbor tries to get V more active in the political fight against gentrification, but V resigns herself to stay put. Her only connection to the outside world comes in her interactions with the various delivery boys who bring her groceries and necessities. While most of them take advantage of her, or rob her, one of them, Christian befriends V. He eventually agrees to move in with her, but just as things seem to be turning around for V, Shawnith resorts to violent means to get V out of the building once and for all.
