Friends and Lovers

Love, betrayal, and friendship set in modern-day Los Angeles

The lives of four young African Americans—two men and two women—are chronicled through the love and the laughter, heartache and pain, of not-so-everyday life. In contemporary mores and humanity, they investigate and celebrate the gender gap.
