Steve is a student at a rural Montana high school who is taking twelfth grade for the second time. There he meets Heather and Gretchen, two elves in a relationship who are outcasts just like him.
Though elvish kingdoms are formally recognized by the federal government, the Supreme Court doesn't see elves as human, so they don't benefit from the same basic rights that others do. Steve is transgender, and can empathize with the elves' plight. Friendships are forged between him and the elves when they realize all three have had problems with a bully named Melvin and the jocks at school, who are known to sexually assault elves.
Despite his age, Steve lives alone, and has to produce a "parent" for parent/teacher day. He enlists the help of his elvish friends to hire an adult, but their scheme backfires when they're caught soliciting an undercover policewoman named Sara Raimi. However, with their newfound connection to Sara, they look to find a way to catch Melvin and his cohorts.
Angles and Curves is a fresh and enticing story about racism, sexism, and sexuality, and what it means to be human after all.
