Two queer teens venture into the streets of Santo Domingo in search of queer belonging. A 20-something lost in existential thought finds a home in a gay Latin club. In Heredia's stories; friendship is at once balm; poison; wound; and respite from the troubles that society places on migrants; on queer people; on Black folks across the diaspora.
