I will be your father figure. Put your tiny hand in mine.
I will be your preacher teacher. Anything you have in mind.
A young black artist meets an older white art collector.
A gospel choir emerges from an infinity pool.
A mother stops at nothing to save her son's soul.
When it's summer every day...when even is it?
In this Bel Air tale of love and family, intimacy is a commodity and the surreal gets real.
