Writer/director Neal Jimenez's semi-autobiographical story about three newly disabled men who meet in a rehabilitation center and strike up an unlikely friendship. 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. Much of their trauma centers around the loss of their sexuality - particularly for Joel, who was in the midst of an affair with a married woman when he was injured. 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.
