Two childhood friends: Ahmad, a streetwise, college-bound scholar on the precipice of a new, bright future, and Sadik, a rehabilitated hooligan grappling with his identity, find themselves alone together before Ahmad’s graduation party in the woods. Soon, unresolved issues and old resentments ignite a forbidden blaze between them that must be doused if Ahmad is to have any chance of escaping the past.

  • Note
    Closeted for the first 7 years of their now 24 year-long relationship, real-life married couple, Deondray & Quincy Gossfield began their directing careers when they won Best Experimental Short Film in Showtime’s, Digital Media Festival in 2000 with their micro short, Had U. Disillusioned with the lack of gay, Black images in the media and fatigued with the oversimplification of the DL phenomenon in pop culture, they created and directed the Here TV anthology series, The DL Chronicles that went on to become the first Black show to win a GLAAD Media Award. Building on their brand and following their passion of telling Black, LGBTQ+ stories, they created and directed the Amazon Prime spinoff series, The Chadwick Journals.
