Brief synopsis

The splinter in Fenix's shoulder hurts more intensely with every setback. Fenix survived an armed attack on the local queer café and has been struggling for every breath since. Between the fighting spirit and fear, Fenix radically demands clarification. But the response to Fenix's uncompromising stance is hatred and further threats, until even Fenix's own community begins to oppose him. How do we then fight for ourselves?
