Synopsis: Born with a rare condition requiring over 50 cranial reconstructive surgeries, 36-year-old Corey searches for normalcy, love, and acceptance in a swipe-left, swipe-right world. The film explores how his looks affect his ability to live a “normal life” and challenges viewers to question who misses out when we reject those who look different.
