In a society that not only embraces but thrives on individuality, Sissy Hankshaw embarks on a remarkable journey fueled by her distinct physical trait—her notably large thumbs. Embracing what many would consider an imperfection, she transforms it into an asset, hitchhiking across the vibrant landscape of America. This adventurous spirit leads her to the eclectic culture of New York City, where she encounters The Countess, a flamboyant mogul who sees immense potential in Sissy. Enthralled by her unique charm, The Countess invites Sissy to model for a line of feminine hygiene products tailored for the LGBTQ+ community.

As Sissy dives deeper into the glitzy realm of fashion and self-identity, her adventures eventually guide her to the Rubber Rose Ranch, a vast expanse owned by The Countess, where a group of tenacious cowgirls thrive. Here, she gets tangled in a rich tapestry of drama and activism, as the ranch becomes a crucial sanctuary for endangered whooping cranes. These magnificent birds, famed for their spectacular migrations, become unwitting captives after being sedated by the spirited cowgirls.

With government agencies turning their gaze toward the ranch to ensure the cranes’ wellbeing, officials are dispatched to take charge of relocating the birds. However, the courageous cowgirls, led by the captivating Bonanza Jellybean, stand their ground, creating a powder keg of tension as both sides gear up for a potential showdown.
