After a sinister cadre murders Max, the found brother of trans queen Aria and the love of artist Jay’s life, the duo set off on a quest for answers. Together, they confront the demons that oppose them, performing at drag shows and meeting uncertain allies along the way, ultimately uncovering a conspiracy of prejudice and self-hatred that leads closer to home than they’d ever imagined. A bloody, monster-infested road movie about the power of claiming one’s identity and the importance of chosen family, Satranic Panic exposes the hypocrisy of the status quo, packed with biting wit and killer outfits.
