Kana & Tomo meet in high school and hit it off right away. Tomo is a raging masc lesbian and a star in the volleyball team, battling a homophobic principal, an ogre of a father, and her own demons. Kana plays bass guitar and just returned from living in London where she transitioned socially but she still has issues being at one with the binary world around her. At their school they discover a kindred spirit in Mandy, a Samoan English teacher from Melbourne. They attempt to set-up a group for queer kids but the idea is rebuffed by the principal so they set-up an online group instead.
On a trip up to Tokyo Pride, Kana, Tomo, and Mandy hatch a plan to open a queer-friendly café together and the search begins for a suitable spot. Kana’s mum gets involved and all is well until tragedy strikes. A team mate of Tomo’s dies and the girls seek answers from the school. Finding none, they quit in a blaze of internet indignation. But for Tomo, things worsen when her father announces plans to move away. She flatly refuses to go and cops a vicious beating. It’s all too much—her demons, the loss of her friend, and the prospect of losing Kana—and she escapes into the night. Kana, her rock, finds her and with Mandy, they get on with life beyond school and open up that café.

It was that one furtive kiss that separated Sora and Koto.
When Sora comes out to her family they turf her out onto the streets and declare her dead. Koto seeks refuge in her piano and goes to Melbourne for a wild few years at music college. They reunite years later in Tokyo where Koto discovers Sora is asexual. She sets out on a radical journey to be just like her.

With their cousins they form a band—The Warrior Queens—playing Electronic Dance Music, live and improvised. It’s a hit and they begin touring. They meet a young roadie, Miyuki, a traumatised teen from the streets. But she’s a whiz kid on the piano and Koto offers to teach her. Koto’s solo piano career takes off and Sora agrees to manager her. They get busy with gigs—Koto’s piano, The Warrior Queens, and Sora’s regular Saturday night gig with a jazz band. But trouble lurks. A brutal assault from her time on the streets comes back to haunt Sora when a video surfaces. She recognises the perpetrators as they face court, but they go free, which sends her into a fit of incandescent rage. But those around her rally, and without Sora knowing, they hatch an elaborate plot to seek justice of their own.

Meanwhile, Sora and Koto head to Hong Kong for a recording date. There they meet the boss, the enigmatic Stanley Hobson. He offers them a lucrative touring deal and a place to base their future operations. They accept, then return home for one final tour across the country with The Warrior Queens. A tour of surprises, reunions and revelations.
