"Partridge" follows the dreary lives of homeless teenagers Cody and Paula, who live in a small Southern town on Christmas Eve, and as usual, the two waifs have absolutely nothing to do; except for wandering around town, shoplifting necessities, and hoping for someone to throw them a bone once in a while. Meanwhile, star-struck Agnes, another homeless teen, has saved up enough money to buy herself a bus ticket to New York City to follow her dreams of becoming an actress. The film follows two interchanging storylines involving these characters, from Cody and Paula breaking into a rich house in desperation for a proper Christmas, to Agnes trying to find her transgender brother she ran away from, in the hopes of saying goodbye for the last time.
