Patrick Johnson as he travels home to North Carolina to come to terms with his past, then travels to Georgia, New Orleans, and Washington, D.C. to reconnect with several black gay men he had previously interviewed for his book, Sweet Tea. The film focuses on Johnson's life in the south while also showing how the men have changed since - and been changed by - their depictions in his book and plays. The film covers the subtle complexities of Johnson's relationships with these men, his family, and his hometown. Blurring the line between art and life, the film offers a rare glimpse into the lives of people rarely given a platform to speak and demonstrates how research, artistry, and life converge.
