Laiba is a queer teenage Muslim girl who is obsessed with proving that Ender from the 1985 sci-fi novel Ender's Game is gay, despite the author Orson Scott Card’s documented homophobia. She comes to believe she is Ender and must fall in gay love with her classmate Jannat to save the world. She is also told by her teacher Mr./Colonel Pratt to kill all the birds, who are the buggers, except they're also gay, and they talk to her and want her to be their queen, but they’re also maybe in cahoots with Orson Scott Card, and by the way, the end of the world is tomorrow.
