SYNOPSIS

Elijah and Billy are two trans bros who just happen to enjoy jerking off together -- in a straight way! But when Billy starts dating a woman, Elijah must come to terms with his feelings for Billy and his own burgeoning homosexuality. Raunchy, campy, and heartfelt, "Bros Before" is a second puberty coming-of-age story saturated with sex, drugs, and hyperpop.
