Léo buys a t-shirt at Mama Sal's shop that comes with an unusual surprise. He meets a beautiful dancer named Benny (except Léo doesn’t know that). Meanwhile, Léo’s best friend and platonic life-mate Roxy has new opportunities on her horizon. How will Léo navigate the heartbreak that comes with time, even when that change can be good? A magical comedy romp featuring calderos, caftans, potions, love, and disco.
