First and foremost, Tangerine is the story of Sin-Dee (newcomer Kitana Kiki Rodriguez), a transgender sex worker hot off a month in jail. When she learns that her pimp-turned-boyfriend Chester (James Ransone) hasn't been faithful through her sentence, she and street sister Alexandra (fellow newcomer Mya Taylor) set sail in stilettos on a Christmastime revenge tale unlike any other.
