Three queer friends embark on a journey to find their missing friend. They struggle with the challenges of life and their own identities. A road movie through an America increasingly marked by intolerance, the journey becomes an act of survival and self-discovery. The story of a friendship also seeks answers to the question of what constitutes an authentic life.
