Honest Men

Prepare yourself for an open and honest conversation between fathers, their sons, and the boy next door. We meet Colby [King David] who is dealing with the death of his father; returning to his childhood home after four years of being away. And next door lives the infamous Mark [Donta Hensley], a man who is known up and down the block for his temper and violent ways. Then there’s JT [Tripp Ali]. A father who’s allowed the sexual fantasies in his head and taboo nightlife to create distance between him and his son, Jamal.

JT has an exchange with his son regarding his future grad party but they end up mostly focusing on their shaken past. And after being cooped up in the house for three days Colby finds a reason to step outside for a bit – Mark. A visit to his neighbor’s place leads to new beginnings for both of the men.

We know so little about Colby but slowly his life before his father's death is starting to creep up on him - old friends who can only wonder where has he gone? But for now, Colby is focused on having beers with Mark. And Colby's teenage antics with Mark's son Andre is brought up as a topic. As for JT - well, addiction can lead to dangerous choices.

It's time to face the honest truth - JT has a problem and it's deadly. Addiction is a lonely drug. And that's why it's always good to have people in your life to turn to, but in JT's case there doesn't seem to be anyone around for him. Colby on the other hand has Mark to help him through his mourning process.

It's time we travel a bit south and we meet Dorian. Dorian is handling some business. Let's allow him to unwind for a bit as we return to the honest men who we have grown to love back in the suburbs. Their long nights are coming to an end and a new day is upon us. And visitors from all over are coming to pay a mourning Colby a visit.

Some say life can be so mundane in the suburbs and then they met these honest men. It’s the morning after a very long night and its time to get back to the routine. Mark is focused on some repairs around the home, JT has put away the porn for now to focus on his lawn care business, and Colby’s cousin makes an early morning call to pay his condolences. And we get to meet Andre – Mark’s son.

Both JT and Mark can agree on one thing - they are far from receiving the father of the year award. The two men confide in each other over some of their past mistakes. And we see Andre push the boundaries of a Bromance when he learns that Colby is gay. And Solo pops up once again to pay Colby a visit – these two “brothers” have some things to hash out.

It's been a long time coming - but for the first time all three honest men find themselves in a room together; how will Colby and JT's first meeting go?

The end is near - another long day approaches an end in the suburbs. JT and Colby get close after a honest talk about marriage, an asshole, and addiction. And we travel back to witness Andre make his friendship with Colby even more confusing.

It’s time for some truth. Honestly. A lot of it. It’s been a long journey – but we are only at the start of this story. So much honest storytelling is left – so much more pages from the book must be turn into honest visuals. We join Colby, Mark, and JT for the expected – but the unexpected is what will keep you coming back for more next season.
