This documentary is set in the New Marilyn night club in Tokyo, Japan - where the hosts are transgender men. They can only make their living as hosts in a nightclub with other wannabes like them.

All three boys deal with this in different ways. These three hosts, the Shinjuku Boys, take us into their lives.
