Things are looking pretty good. But it all comes crashing down when his younger brother, Dewan, runs away from his foster family and shows up at Terrence's door. Terrence must reckon with his past and his present, the choices he's made and the life that he's lived, and decide the kind of brother and the kind of man he wants to be. The cast of characters include Lily, Terrence's trans roommate, Malik, his down-low hookup, Luis, his trainer and dealer, Kay and Rich, his brunch buddies, and Dr. Johnson. This mix of gay, straight, Trans, rich, poor, black, white, brown, closeted, old and young are part of what weave together the rich tapestry of Terrence's life, but each also has their own thread which can be followed as well. Nothing in life is ever a given, and each of these characters, by and by, will be tested.
