Description

This story of love is told from the point of view of Roy, a young veteran returning from the Vietnam war in the middle to late 1980's. Unenthused to return home to the south he moves to Detroit with his older brother Skipp. What Roy was hoping to be an asylum from the horrors of Jim Crow's south, only turns into a mixture of nightmares and pleasureful lust. He finds gainful employment as a bar tender and driver for a seemingly cunning business man named Mickey. However, Mickey is more than what he seems, as he has ties to the mob and all of Detroit's crime syndicates. Roy finds himself in a compromising position when a connection of lust and romance grows between him and the mobster's girlfriend, Snow. An alluring, glamorous woman that is nearly impossible for any man to resist, even the young and stoic Roy. Against his better judgement he allows temptation to control his emotions and put him in countless dangerous situations. The story shows that what the heart wants the heart will have, but leaves us with the question. Would we rather experience true love for only a mere moment, or never experience it at all?
