"The night is beautiful,

So the faces of my people.


The stars are beautiful,

So the eyes of my people.


Beautiful, also, is the sun.

Beautiful, also, are the souls of my people."


- My People by Langston Hughes

On a cold night in NYC, after missing curfew at a shelter, T–a homeless queer teen–searches for a way to get off the streets. Knowing the city offers programs that help people living with HIV secure housing, he devises a plan to contract the virus so he can receive the same support. Afraid of following through with such a life-changing decision, he does everything possible to avoid his plan. But as the night gets colder and he’s exhausted all options, he makes a tough choice for his survival. 'home' is a tender and gritty exploration of the fundamental problems LGBTQ+ youth face every day.
