Ruben and Carlos become cellmates in a minimum-security prison. While Ruben struggles to learn the ropes of daily life and where he falls in the complex hierarchical prison system, Carlos becomes a mentor and then eventually a lover. The two men develop feelings for one another they can't easily express. As time moves on and one of them is released before the other, there are questions looming as to whether what they had was real or simply out of the need for human connection.

one of my favorite indie gay films :] it was really unexpectedly wholesome by the end, and the inclusivity of trans and deaf folks made me smile! it’s a hidden gem that id reccommend to those who like gay romances with happy endings
