A documentary that tells the extraordinary true story of how a lesbian bookseller (who also happened to be trans) created the largest gathering of LGBTQ+ women in the UK, and how from 1998 to 2008, the quietly conservative city of York became the unlikely centre of all things lesbian! For one thrilling decade, thousands of women flocked to the York Lesbian Arts Festival (YLAF) each autumn, to meet their favourite authors, buy books, hear top female artists live on stage and dance the night away at the ‘disco of a thousand lesbians.’

Angel and her best friend Janet have shared an unbreakable bond for over three decades. When Angel got engaged to Tripp, a strong and devoted partner, their lives seemed perfect. However, someone close to them watched with growing envy. Little did they know, the shadows of jealousy and betrayal were lurking nearby, ready to unravel their perfect world in the most unexpected way.
