In this dark comedy with a disturbing edge, Ben convinces his much younger boyfriend Gideon to move out of their apartment in the city to flip a house…but he leaves out that the new house is in a historically (and currently) Black neighborhood. When Ben befriends and employs a local neighborhood kid named Reuben, the blurry line between ignorance, activism and fear lays bare how perniciously racism hides just beyond the face of “wokeness.”
