Thomas Banks is a young, gay playwright with cerebral palsy and he’s on a quest to find true love. His difficulty in speaking is the first obstacle, and in his quest, as he struggles to find someone who will commit and looks for love in all the wrong places, he’ll encounter many more. This heartfelt and often humorous documentary follows Thomas as he comes to term with his vulnerabilities and challenges the assumptions and prejudices of others.
