​​Plot: The story of Colt Cunningham, the first openly gay quarterback in the NFL. After an unpredictable rise in his rookie season to be the new phenom, he’s outed. Football fans turn on him as he publicly falls from grace. The story asks: How does a man reckon with the one thing he loves that doesn’t love him back.

You’re The Reason Why I Sing is a story of a man who thinks he’s pursuing one passion, and another finds him.
 “This is your show,” Roman said. “I don’t want to be your buzz kill.”
 “You’re not a buzz kill,” Colt told him. ​“You’re the reason why I sing.”
