We Shall Be Changed

Zusatztext

Benny Schneider has lived in Las Vegas for a lot of years, working in medical billing for the past fifteen. In February 2021, he runs into new friend Dorian Weathers at the supermarket and they start a conversation that goes in some unexpected directions.   Dori's seen a lot during his years of working as a hospital orderly, but hit the wall after eight months of coping with a pandemic. Now staying with a longtime friend, he's been offered a free apartment in Los Angeles and help with tuition to level up his career. When Benny offers a room in his own house instead, Dori gets a vision of what might be possible.   By the end of that first conversation, it's clear they'll be housemates with benefits. Over the months that follow, they grow closer. Benny's twenty years older and he's been through a change that even most of his friends don't know about. Before long, Dori wants everything Benny is, was, and ever will be.   With the support of their friends and the freedom of drag, they're determined to embrace a new change. Can they carry it into the future along with everything else they are?
