T is enslaved, but his soul is his own. God, the Devil nor any master can lay claim to it as he moves through his world with a fierce confidence and steely resolve . When a personal awakening compels him to carve a family out of his unimaginable pain, into his embrace comes a woman plagued by mental illness borne of torture and rape and a man who tried to keep his faith in God no matter what he saw and felt. They experience revelations about spiritual and sexual identities that are hard fought and ultimately life affirming. In the end they navigate the horrors of bondage to create a family for which there was no blueprint.
