Brief synopsis: Todd and Marion, thirty-something African-American professional dancers, move from their tiny apartment in Brooklyn to a beautiful first home in lovely Greenville, South Carolina.  As they settle in, however, hidden agendas emerge including a boss who’d like Todd to be the first “person of color” to participate in “some nice, friendly Civil War reenactments.”  Mortified by the implications but still wildly in love with their new home, Todd and Marion must examine their own relationship and how far they are willing to go to live the American dream.
