Matthew Riutta

An anthology of four different Bay Area residents and their intersecting lives on the same day. Shirley is a lunch lady, bullied by a high school student until she takes matters into her own hands. Ben is a closeted gay teen who rehearses a dance with Shayne for their high school's show choir and discovers Shayne has more on his mind than jazz hands. Nate is a grieving father whose journey over the San Francisco/Oakland Bay Bridge goes awry when he picks up a homeless veteran. Victor is a gay activist who rallies the queer community after he and a trans activist are assaulted by a group of religious extremists.
