The film gently blurs the lines between what is and what could be, moving into the realm of a docu-drama and illuminating, through examples, the raw truths behind the silent pain that many Black gay men experience, including denial of sexual identity and sexual orientation, racism, discrimination and stigma, sexual abuse and trauma, an HIV positive diagnosis, the propagation and promotion of homophobia from religious leaders and their congregants, and the perils of loneliness, a sense of isolation and abandonment experienced by many growing older in the Black gay community.
