Even in early adolescence, Jordan Rivers knew he was different. When he meets Jericho Diggs in Jr. High, their friendship appears normal but is laced with feelings neither can yet fully understand. When Jericho's father, a well-known pastor in Vicksburg, Mississippi, discovers the many letters the boys have sent to each other, he mercilessly beats Jericho with an extension cord and leaves the room without a word. This episode begins a pattern of secrets, shame, and violence that nearly rips Jericho's family apart and ultimately sends Jericho and Jordan down two very different paths. Jordan finds himself at Jackson State University searching for a love like the one he was never able to have with Jericho, and Jericho finds himself in Atlanta, Georgia, in pursuit of picket-fenced dreams, with a wife, child and a few men on the side. Years pass. Things change. Fate, it seems, crosses their paths a second time. The question is, will they let love walk away twice?
