A young transwoman, Patrick "Kitten" Braden, comes of age in the 1970s.

She's taken in by a rock band, falls for the lead singer, has brushes with the IRA, is arrested by the London police, works in a peep show, and poses as a survey researcher for the phone company. Throughout, her nationality and her nature put her at great risk. In her search for her mother, she makes surprising discoveries of friendship and family. But, will she survive?

A priest drags Kitten by the ear.

Kitten's story includes a rape sequence involving a priest and his servant, which he fabricates. The truth of the tale is never confirmed.

A crowd throws vegetables at Billy's band. They also yell derogatory remarks at them.

There is a large explosion, killing at least one person. There is no gore.

Kitten is manhandled and slapped in a sequence. She is then thrown a large hole freshly dug, and has guns pointed at her. Her attackers threaten her, and she proceeds to try to talk them into shooting her.

There is a large explosion at a dance, killing or injuring many. Kitten is shown bloody and disoriented. This same explosion is later showed in reverse.

The police brutalize Kitten. They physically beat her, throw her against the walls, slam her head against the floor, and pull her hair.

In a fantasy scene, Kitten imagines himself as a secret agent. During this scene, she spritzes perfume in the eyes of several men, knocking them out. A group of men also point their weapons at her. It is all done fantastically and comically.

Kitten hurls herself into a mirror. The mirror does not shatter, and she appears to not be terribly harmed.

A man tries to strangle Kitten with a necklace. We see Kitten, whose face is pressed against the steering wheel, choking and struggling. She then sprays the man with perfume and stumbles out of his car. A red bruise across her throat is later seen when Kitten is sitting down at a diner.

A man is shot in the back of the head.

Scenes of riots and small struggles between the Irish and English are shown.

Two characters shoot another offscreen. We hear a woman screaming and see the murderers escape.

During a magic show, Kitten is tied to a roulette. Bertie throws a knife into his heart. He then reveals that he hit a fake heart tucked inside his vest that is soaked in fake blood.

A police officer warns Kitten about being attacked.

An angry man dressed as a mascot punches and then chases somebody with the intent to harm, but is held back by Kitten. He is later shown dressed a judge with an executioner at his side, joking about taking Kitten's head.

There is an explosion at the church, causing a fire, but the people get out on time.

Charlie gives birth, appearing very pained.
