An encounter between a white, gay playwright and his black, straight shirtless maid goes disastrously wrong when signals are misinterpreted, lines crossed. Handjob explores the aftermath of their meeting, as it reveals deep layers of discrimination, discord, and discontent among people who should be allies. How can you know when you've gone too far if you completely ignore other people's boundaries?
