When 16-year-old Matt Baily is expelled from his evangelical Christian high school, he faces the prospect of going to public school for the first time. There he first experiences the world beyond the strict, conservative Christianity he has grown up with. When he befriends wannabe Warhol Superstar Michelle, he is finally able to share his deepest darkest secret with another person--he has always longed to be a girl.

As he learns more about the world and starts to accept his transgender feelings, Matt's doubts about his faith grow. Matt begins to wrestle with belief in God, his disintegrating conservative family, and the transgender feelings that won't go away. Ultimately, Matt is forced to decide between his family and faith and accepting himself as transgender.

Disgusta is about growing up in the suburban South in the 90s in high school. It explores themes of belief in God, LGBTQ identity, rebellion, and coming of age. Additionally, its setting provides a serving of 90s nostalgia and a realistic look at growing up queer in the evangelical community.
