When Perry Williams, an African American college student with a gift for painting, is kicked out of his parents’ house for being gay, he finds refuge in the friendship he strikes up with an elderly man. The eccentric senior citizen just happens to be Bruce Nugent, one of the brightest, most flamboyant stars of the Harlem Renaissance. Soon, through the force of Nugent’s powerful memories and storytelling, Perry is tripping back through time to that fabled black and queer arts movement, whose famous denizens (Nugent, Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Wallace Thurman) school him about courage and inner strength.
