Though strangers to one another, they share an inescapable truth: all of them are gay. And they live in a world that refuses to accept them. One night a mob descends on one of their rehearsals. By the end of that night, one man is dead, all are injured, and two subsequently disappear. As the survivors heal, each man must confront the bigotry and homophobia the attack laid bare. Some try to forget; some embrace their rage; and some simply vanish. All are forever scarred.
