Subscribe FreeBree (Huffman), a transexual eagerly awaiting her final gender reassignment surgery, hits a bump in the road when she discovers she has a son, Toby (Zegers), who is currently in a New York City lockup, the result of a one-time encounter when she was Stan, and her therapist requires her to confront her past before she can proceed with her future. So, with this motivation, she flies east to retrieve Toby, who thinks she's just a good-hearted missionary, and convinces him to trek westward to Los Angeles. It is during this journey each discovers who they are, and what they may become. Transamerica earned Felicity Huffman a Golden Globe. (Jack Kelley)
