When a black man does show up on the lam from the law, the white guy takes him in and cares for him (the black man had been shot escaping from the police). A young white male is having a hard enough time being gay in a rural town, on top of that he is obsessed with Afro-American culture, and African-American men. But the sad thing - in correlation to this obscure rating at IMDb - is that this is not a bad film. That's enough reason to make anyone sit up and take notice of this film even if it were bad. You can count the number of gay films that have featured black actors as main characters (I actually know of four: two of which were documentaries and two were German films by Fassbinder).
