      Für Jude ist die Schule ein großes Filmset: Da gibt es Crewmitglieder, Statisten und Hauptdarsteller -- und jeder fügt sich in seine Rolle. Nur Jude ist im Drehbuch nicht vorgesehen. Als schrille Diva in High Heels und Glamour-Make-up zieht er die Blitzlichter der Paparazzi magisch an und mischt den Schulalltag gewaltig auf. Und als er das Undenkbare wagt und um das Herz seines Angebeteten kämpft, überschlagen sich die Ereignisse. Aber was wäre ein Blockbuster ohne dramatischen Höhepunkt? Eine ebenso rasante wie berührende Geschichte über das Anderssein -- schonungslos erzählt und voller bissigem Humor.

      Everyone wanted to break me. But stars aren't broken, they explode. And I was the ultimate supernova. My name was Jude. They called me Judy. I was beautiful either way. School was basically a movie set. We were all just playing our parts. The Crew, the Extras, the Movie Stars. No one was ever real . . . especially me. I didn't fit any category. All the girls watched me - I could walk so much better than them in heels, and my make-up was always flawless. All the boys wanted to, well, you know . . . even if they didn't admit it. They loved me, they hated me, but they could never ignore me. I only had eyes for Luke. A red carpet rolled out from my heart towards him and this year, on Valentine'sDay, I was going to walk that carpet and find my mark next to him. It would be like a dream. But my dream was going to turn into a nightmare. This is my story. #WEFLTM
