Joel, a writer; Bloss, a bigoted biker; and Ray, a boastful, embittered black man come from vastly differing backgrounds but find a common ground in their attempt to come to terms with their lives as a paraplegics.

Now the uncertainty of Joel and his girlfriend's future together is compounded by the fact that Joel has to re-learn, physically and emotionally, how to have a sexual relationship. [More]
