An intelligent and haunting depicition of sexual passion and the interplay between desire and identification, John G. Young's first feature is a festival favorite that stars Gabriel Mann of 'The Bourne identity' and 'The bourne supremacy'. Set in a redneck, upstate New York town, it's about a white teenager who's totally black-identified - does his blo0nd hair in dreads, plays hip-hop, makes the 'Autobiography of Malcolm X' his bible - although he's never met a black person. His life takes a turn when he falls in love with Knowledge, a young black man who's been wounded escaping from prison.
