The film focuses on characters whose identities fall outside the typical straight and cisgender norms. These non-conforming characters are central to the survival narrative, rather than being minor figures.

By breaking down the traditional Prom setup, the film challenges the usual gender hierarchies and courtship rituals. It shifts the focus from masculine leadership to the collective ability to act of underrepresented groups.

The story revolves around a diverse group of outcasts, suggesting a move away from homogeneous small-town structures. However, the specific levels of racial complexity are not clearly outlined.

The outcast framework can serve as a metaphor for neurodivergence or social disability. The story highlights characters who navigate the world through non-standard social lenses.
