Tell Me Why is the story of two twins, Tyler and Alyson Ronan, who have reconnected after Tyler spent a grueling ten years in a youth correctional facility. The story explores everything that led up to the moment in which Tyler defended himself from his mother, who he believed was threating his life for being transgender.
