"In November of 2011, Detroit Police identified a burned torso that was found on Detroit's east side, belonging to 19-year-old Shelley Hilliard, a transgender woman who was reported missing. Some lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) activists believed that Hilliard, who was also known as Treasure , was murdered in a hate crime. "

This documentary is about Shelly's life and death, and also shows the wider LGBT community in Detroit.
