Amancio Corrales was well known in clubs throughout the Southwest for his drag perfomances. Amancio was dressed as a woman the night he was murdered. Yuma authorities let the investigation become a cold case that would never have been solved. Michael Baughman, without ever knowing Amancio, kept the story alive in the media and in the minds of reluctant law enforcement. Three years after his murder this film explores Amancio's memory through eyes of his family, friends, and a very important stranger. - Stephanie Hanna-Chambers
