Pado is a street smart young transgender man, caught caught up with many problems. One, being mistaken for being female a lot.
Pado soon finds himself a worthwhile partner with Eel O’Brien, a strip club bouncer being encouraged to go straight by the semi-positive life he is building for himself. Eel’s life goes sideways when he gains super powers and super-powered enemies. This puts Pado in the crosshairs, literally, as the enemies understand they can manipulate Eel by threatening Pado.
Pado soon gains the friendship of the strip club ladies. The women come to trust Eel even more, as they see how he’s looking out for the young man. Or at least attempting to.
This goes sideways when Eel thinks social services are the best place for Pado. After social services refuses to recognize his gender, Pado flees and makes his way back to the club, where he is welcomed with open arms. Eel soon arrives and realizing his mistakes, promises to stick by Pado forever.
