'Danny’s life is in crisis. It is one consumed with dread, rejection and humiliation. Danny struggles to find a path through an existence clouded with half truths, isolation and uncertainties while grappling with answers about an issue that lies at the core of personal identity and social acceptance. What happens when the truth of who we are results in a ruined life?

This heart-aching and sometimes raw portrayal, reveals the emotional torment and sense of isolation for an individual under siege from social intolerance while dealing with the confusion and uncertainty of an inner legitimacy.'
