In 2017 and 2019 respectively, Gemmel “Juelz” Moore and Timothy “Tim” Dean, two gay black men, both died of a meth overdose at the now-infamous apartment of Ed Buck, a once influential businessman and political and LGBTQ+ activist. The deaths sent shockwaves through LA’s LGBTQ+ community. The ensuing media circus cooked up a spicy concoction of sex, drugs, race and politics, but had no appetite for the in-depth human stories of who Gemmel and Tim truly were. Through memories, correspondence, and intimate recollections of their lost friends, we learn more about Gemmel and Tim as each friend & family member exposes their own personal journey in dealing with grief and loss.
